I'm getting a beep that's been going on for five times and my screen isn't showing any picture.

Yes, I do have a TV, but it belongs to my parents and they wouldn't like me taking my PC to their room to test it, but when I get home I'll see what's going on with my monitor, since it apparently never had any serious problems. I bought the monitor in 2022, and it's strange that it's already having problems. My monitor turns on and off normally, I don't know if it is defective. Could it perhaps be the monitor's power supply? Also, 5 beeps from what I've googled means a bad CPU. How do you know this is a monitor/GPU related issue and not a CPU issue just out of curiosity?
You can find those beep codes on page 12 of that PDF. If your computer beeps five times, it probably has a CPU problem or no BIOS at all. You don't need an APTIO because old AMIBIOS systems are gone for over 12 years now, and the new version is called APTIO instead. Also, the new system doesn't support UEFI like the old ones did.
Wow, I finally get it! Thanks for helping me out. I don't really know much about BIOS or UEFI, or motherboards in general, so I was getting a bit mixed up. In fact, I think that's probably the main reason all this happened. Back when I posted my old video, if my computer beeped five times on the repair shop floor, that code "D6" showed up on the motherboard QCode. That means exactly the same thing: no monitor is being detected. Now I really suspect it's my monitor, because if my PC were to beep at home and not right there in the store, then the only problem would definitely be with the monitor. In these cases, what should I do? I don't know much about monitors, but since they seem to be working fine without any issues, it's just a little confusing. Would it make sense to take this monitor back to that same repair shop so that the technicians can test it there? Also, by the way, my monitor was bought from that very repair store.
you could say the part costs about half a dollar, but I don't know if it's just broken or if something else is failing nearby. It's not hard to check, so if you have to remove it from the circuit board and swap it out, fixing it would cost around fifty bucks total.
