Not sure this if this is the correct place to post this. I'm only guessing my problem is related to a hardware issue but I may be wrong. Apologies if I am.
I have a Dell XPS desktop computer and it randomly stopped working today. When I turn on the power I hear a beep like it always does and then a few seconds later there is consecutive five beeps. My display does not turn on at any point. It only says it's going into power saving mode shortly after start up. When I play around with the monitor controls it says that there is no signal coming from my computer. All the while my computer is definitely on. The little light is on and I can hear it too. It just doesn't seem to be booting. I looked up what it means if the computer beeps five times and if I'm not mistaken it means that there is a CPU failure. Can this be fixed? Do I need to get it replaced and what does this mean for my data?
This is extremely frustrating as my livelihood is kinda dependent on my pc right now... I would appreciate any answers anyone can give me!
