So I've scavengered all over the internet, and still couldn't find the proper fix, so I'm hoping someone here could help me.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
When I open Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, eventually (in the first 5 minutes) the screen freezes. If it happens while playing, the sound and IO stops working, if it happens on the menu, the sound is still working aswell as the IO ( can actually leave the game by pressing the exit button+enter, just cannot have any visual output of what I'm doing).

FIXES TRIED
- reinstall windows;
- reinstall steam;
- delete everything on steam directory except for: steamapps, userdata & Steam.exe and run Steam directly from that Steam.exe;
- verify integrity of game files for CSGO;
- disable windows update (so it won't automatically install the drivers), delete everything of Nvidia (with Display Driver Uninstaller help) & reinstall latest driver with custom settings & setting to true the "clean install" flag;
- install with and without Nvidia Geforce Experience;
- a mix of all of the above.
