PC won't turn on — fan spinning, light blinking

Hi! My PC won't boot properly. When I press the power button, the fan turns on and the power light blinks, but it doesn't display anything on screen. It also produces 5 beep sounds repeatedly.

I don't know my exact motherboard brand/BIOS. Based on what I've read, 5 beeps could be a CPU issue but I'm not sure.

What I've tried: Nothing yet, wanted to ask first before opening the case.

My concern: Is this something I can fix at home or should I bring it to a technician?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
