Title says it all. It is a bit annoying and I think that cpu might be overheating. My monitor happened to shut down 2 times and that was not happening before beeping. Cpu - i5 2400 at stock speed, rx 550 2gb, 4gb ddr3 ram. This pc is old like 5 years, and I have not replaced thermal paste ever. I'm buying a new one soon so I'm not planning on upgrading it or whatever. Btw cpu idle temp is 40°C, is that good or no?

Temp is currently 53 but there should be something that states at what temp it'll shut down.

I looked up your CPU and Intel says 72.6 degrees seems to be about the max safe temperature. So if it's hitting 80, while it could still be safe it does run the risk of overheating.

I'm guessing stock cooler? Ever cleaned out the fan and heatsink? Dust could have built up. Blow it out with a can of air. If you end up removing the heatsink to clean it, then you'll definitely want to clean off the old paste and reapply new.

UPS = Uninterruptible Power Supply (battery backup system)

What kind of beeping? Is it from the external speakers? Or the tiny speaker in the case? If the latter, how many beeps? You say your monitor shut down, what about the PC? Did the PC shutdown or reboot or are you just losing your video feed?

Your idle temp is fine. Don't worry about thermal paste, if applied correctly you shouldn't have to replace it. My i7 is 6 years old and runs almost constantly. Never changed the paste and runs perfectly.
