I accidentally pressed the power button on my PC while it was asleep, thinking it was off. Now, the power supply seems fine, but my monitor has no display. When I try to restart, I get five beeping sounds. I've already cleaned and reseated both the graphics card and RAM, switched HDMI cables, and only connected the essential components, but nothing has worked. Do you think the problem is connected to pressing the power button, or could it be something else? I really need help since I have important coursework and an exam in two days!

It doesn't sound like the power button issue is the culprit. If you’re still getting five beeps after reseating the components, you should definitely check the beep codes in your motherboard manual. That'll help you figure out what the actual problem is.
Yeah, 5 beeps usually indicate CPU errors. You might want to see if the thermal paste is dried out or if the CPU pins are bent. It could be worth reseating the CPU to be safe.
