Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
- KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
Good luck and let us know!

It it is running fine in Safe Mode, then some 3rd party or add-on app is the culprit. You need to investigate those to figure out which might be the cause. But, while you have it in Safe Mode, taking a backup would be quite advisable...here's some information:
You need to run in Safe Mode long enough to be sure that the behavior will or will not re-present. Since you already did a WIPE before, that step won't likely be useful (unless you did not WIPE your 3rd party apps as well...).

Sorry...we were cross posting...I'll give you more in a moment.

This then provides the deduction that the problem is corruption in your Core OS. For which an OS reload would be in order. Since you cannot properly run even in Safe Mode, hopefully you already have a good backup somewhere...you likely will get no opportunity to do so now...
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
- C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
- Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
- If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
- If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
- Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
- If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
