My monitor just started flickering out of nowhere after I turned it on. This happened a week ago, and I can't find anything online to help me. If you have an idea, please let me know.

This is almost certainly an indication of failing video hardware -- either the monitor or the video chip/card or both.
To check for the monitor, you need to do both of the following:
1) Connect the monitor to another PC
2) Connect a different monitor to this PC
If 1) works OK, then the monitor is good; if it fails, then at least the monitor is bad -- but the video chip/card may also be bad.
If 2) works, the video chip/card is OK.
If you have a video card, then the card is failing and needs to be replaced. But if you have Integrated Video, then you are using the chips oldered to the motherboard and those are not replaceable.
If the monitor is bad, then your most practical "solution" is to replace it. Why? Because most places will not do repairs to monitors because the cost of those nearly always well exceeds the cost of replacing the monitor. Plus, HP does not do repairs to used equipment, so you would also have to find a repair place on your own.
Good Luck
