Hi
Depending on the age of the PC and the BIOS vendor...
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07107
Possibly
Power button LED blinks 6 times with 6 beeps
Video Card or Graphics
Reset the graphics card (if applicable). If the problem is not resolved, remove other accessory cards, and replace the graphics card or Main-Board.
Not likely
LED blinks 6 times
BIOS
BIOS authentication failure.
Restore BIOS if available.
Press the Windows + B keys to do a BIOS recovery or replace the Main-Board.

Hi
So it's the Video / Grahics card then.
https://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/hp-p2-1400-desktop-pc-series/5330789/model/5331829/product-info
Video graphics
- VGA connector on back I/O
- DVI connector at back I/O
Try installing a basic Video card and hope the on-board Graphics turns OFF and the installed card generates a default screen.
Next may be either a replacement CPU or Main Board, or a local repair shop.
