5 short beeps at startup

Hello,
everything is in the title. I checked and it seems that 5 short beeps correspond to a processor problem. However, my issue is that I have no image but the sound is correct. Let me explain: the screen does not turn on but we can hear the Windows startup music and the display of icons, which means that everything starts correctly and only the screen does not display...
if anyone has encountered this problem and/or can help me, thanks
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer

Hi,

remove your graphics card and put it back in, sometimes it's just a bad connection, but if you have an integrated chipset graphics card on the motherboard, then it's game over…

The graphics card is indeed integrated :-(
I had a graphics card issue with another PC and it was 3 beeps (1 long 2 short) in that case

Here’s what I found about the BIOS beeps, for those who might find it helpful. As for me, I don’t know the type of BIOS, but I would lean towards the memory refresh circuit (1 3 1). My questions are as follows: 1) What is the memory refresh circuit? 2) Where can it be found? and 3) What should I do to solve the problem???

Thank you in advance
