There is no video output from your computer, that is why the monitor goes to sleep, check the cable and the video card.

It sounds like you are trying to do an upgrade to Windows 7, as normally the operating system comes pre-installed on the Hard Drive (HDD). If the hard drive is not recognised, then it is a hardware fault, take it back it where you bought it! If that is not possible, check that it is correctly fitted to the hard drive socket, otherwise it is back to a repairer.

Usually 3 or 4 beeps in a row on many systems is a RAM issue. If you have multiple RAM sticks try to remove one while the system if off and unplugged. Turn it on and see if the beeps continue. If so, remove the other ram stick and put back in the first stick you removed. Repeat the process for each stick of ram until the beeping stops. If it stops, this means you have found the bad ram module and can replace it. Some computers requires ram to be installed in pairs, and that the pairs match (Check the stickers on the ram to ensure both are the same type and speed) If the problem continues after removing and testing each stick of ram, you may want to have a service professional / Computer Repair shop take a look at the computer for further testing.

Which power button is flickering (your computer, or your monitor). Here's some tricks I would try... 1. Verify the monitor's power cord is plugged firmly into the wall outlet and the back of the monitor. 2. Verify the monitor cable is firmly connected to the computer and the monitor. 3. Verify that you have turned the monitor power switch on. 4. If the power light on the monitor is not on, test the wall outlet (plug in a light or something you know works). 5. If the power light on the monitor is not on, try a different power cord. 6. If the power light is on and yellow or orange or flashing, but nothing displays, or the display is incorrect, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor probably needs replaced. 7. Also, you could try your display on a friend's computer. If it doesn't work, your monitor probably needs replaced. If it works properly on your friends computer, the problem may be with your computers video output port, motherboard video chip (or video card, if you have one), or drivers. Good luck.

reformat your hard drive and put a fresh copy of windows on it is easiest to do

the function key should have Fn on it or something of the like to identify it as the function key

either a bad power switch or your power supply is bad I would think the later is the problem

you should be able to go to control panel/audio or sound and find your output device and unmute it that way

yes you can upgrade the graphics card, you have integrated graphics but you can purchase a PCI-E graphics card and bypass the on board graphics but keep in mind you'll have to buy a "low profile" graphics card as there's not much room in your case and a full size card will not fit.
