I installed the old HDD from an old monitor case into my computer. After turning it on, it emitted several beep codes that confused me. I attempted to reset the CMOS and restarted it, but the machine responded with a series of beeps—then suddenly glitched and started producing erratic sounds. The issue occurred the night before the power went out, and I hadn’t powered on the PC since then. The HDD was a broken Windows model, so I just wanted to use it for storage.

It might be attempting to start with the faulty operating system on the storage device. Verify boot settings in the BIOS and confirm it's loading from the correct drive.

It doesn’t start up on the PC and accessing BIOS is impossible, leaving only a black screen.

I switched to a different monitor and it appears to be refreshing now, with the cleanup process underway.

It looks like your primary display isn't working properly. You've already tested both HDMI and DP connections, but the screen remains black. This could indicate a hardware issue or a problem with the cable/port. Check the connections, try a different cable, or consult the manufacturer's support for further assistance.

I don't understand why my screen automatically adjusts brightness and contrast to such low levels. We can close this now if you'd like.
