Let's try to fix this over mail first.  I am assuming this is UEFI on 
the x86_64, if this is BIOS or on another architecture, say something.

Which version of Debian was this?  (Number and name.)  What hardware is 
this running on?  (Laptop, desktop, Pi, make and model#, disks and other 
pieces connected, etcetera.)  Is this just running Debian, or is it 
multi-boot?  When you try to boot the thing, what is the last message 
that is displayed before the system freezes?  Take a picture of the 
monitor with your camera, upload it to your website, and follow up to 
this message with a link to that JPEG. That's a bit easier than trying 
to transcribe a big screen of text.

Also, "Help needed" is not a good Subject: line.  "Debian X.Y install 
won't boot on a $THING" would've been better.  You should be as specific 
as possible in the Subject: line of a mail for maximum utility.  Please 
follow up, Hope That Helps,
