Hey, so I was just browsering and doing some stuff on my computer when suddenly it stopped working it was frozen, it'd unfreeze for like 5 seconds and freeze again for a lot of time, when I closed it, it never opened back it just boots again on the "Starting WINDOWS" screen, I've searched for a lot of solutions I reseated my RAMs and I came across a blue screen with this error when I try to boot the system with the "Disable automatic restart on system failure", the error is the following:

STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8ABB2845, 0x8E591BAC, 0x8E591790)

Deepfrz.sys - Address 8ABB2845 base at 8ABAB000, DateStamp 4d682c52

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Deep Freeze but I really have no idea what is it, someone please help I can't access my computer.

When you are installing Windows, there is a page that list Drives, and Partitions. There are options at the bottom for each Drive/Partition you highlight. The options beneath sometimes will include "Format". If you have files that you wish to keep, do NOT select "Format". If you do it will wipe the Drive clean. What Windows are you planning to install? Please don't say Windows 7! It has reached EoL (End of Life), and that could well be your problem. It's now an insecure OS with no security patches to come.

If you are able to, booting to a Linux live disk will enable you to save any data you wish to an external drive.... I generally use an old Ubuntu 9 boot as it is more user friendly to people unfamiliar with linux..
You can also create a bootable USB flash drive using Rufus (Rufus - The Official Website (Download, New Releases)) and use that to create a bootable flash drive.Just need the .iso for the Linux distro of your choice.(generally free to download.. search with Google)
All this assumes you have use of another computer to create this.

If he's trying to install WINDOWS, he doesn't need to go through Linux. And he doesn't need to use Rufus. Windows Media Creation Tool will create a USB Flash drive to manage the install of Windows. If he doesn't want to used Windows anymore, then your advise is on point. Otherwise, he needs to follow the advise for an appropriate install of Windows. There is an option to maintain his old files in a "Windows.old" folder.

This is a known issue with Faronics Deep Freeze. Boot to a repair DVD, and then overwrite the dfdisklo.sys and DeepFrz.sys files in windows\system\drivers with two system files obtained from Faronics you can copy from a USB flash drive. The computer will then restart, at which point you should uninstall and reinstall Deep Freeze.
