Sine you've only had it a month, I'd try a factory reset back to the way you bought it. This way you can test to see if its software related. Afterwards, I would use same methods that caused freezes before with minimal updates(video drivers). If you still have problems being it a new OEM machine, I'd try to return it.

This worked for about a day but then it started to happen again. So you suggest bringing it back?
 
I would recommend it as it's nearly new. It's happening with a clean factory reset of the OS, so it's unlikely going to be software related. You could try some stress tests on components to test them individually, but again being so new, I would let BestBuy figure it out. Did you purchase in-store, or order from them online?
