I recently encountered a problem with my computer and was wondering If someone could provide me with some advice on what to do.
On new years I got drunk and apparently did something to my pc, I have no clue what happened. When I powered it up the next morning, everything worked... the fan, hardrive, everything functioned except the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I turned the computer off again and 6 hours later I tried to boot everything up again. This time it worked... for about 6 minutes and then all of a sudden... the mouse, keyboard, and monitor turned off. I haven't been able to boot those three things up since, only the cpu.
The night before, the computer was running but it appeared that the mouse wasn't working, I can't remember much but I shut the pc down afterwords (can't remember if the screen was frozen).
This leaves me to believe something is wrong with the motherboard or maybe power usage and I have absolutely no clue how to check whats actually wrong with it! This really frustrates me and I wanted to ask someone with past experience whether its rational to go get it checked out or simply go buy a new pc. Or maybe one of you can figure out whats wrong with it?
Heres a link to the computer specifications on HP's website:

I also made a youtube video to show me booting up the system (I think the beeps can possibly help figure out whats wrong):

This is my first post on this website, I'd appreciate the feedback as I don't know what to do. Also I'd like to point out that its really dusty but considering it worked perfectly prior to new years, theres a slim chance thats actually the problem
