HP Slimline Desktop - 260-a020 (ENERGY STAR)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Yesterday when I was playing a game called Warframe the game kept freezing over and over. When the game freezes it takes about one minute to unfreeze. The loading time for the game increases. While I kept playing it finally freezes for more than 10 minutes with no mouse and keyboard response. I did a hard shutdown while the game is still running. I open the computer back up I try to find the problem by going to settings I check updates I try downloading the updates it freezes again everything stop working no response I waited for five minutes and did a hard shutdown again. I open the computer the boot time increases to more than 5 minutes. I tried to reset the computer I couldn't reach the settings I want because the computer freezes again. I checked my ram and CPU usage both are low less than 50%. My disk is usage was at 100% on average. I did one last hard shutdown and I lost everything. The computer won't boot up the automatic repair runs nothing is fixed I can't open advanced options to reset my PC. Please look at this pictures and tell me what's wrong. I get a blue screen error and the OS won't boot up.

I bought this computer in 2016.

Please tell what I need to do to fix this. If I can't fix it how can I get the data saved on my hard drive. I have a lot of projects saved in there.
