No, you don't need reinstall your operation system.

What will happens if you holding the fn button and turning laptop on? Pre preboot and device check?

[Noxco 0]

No...just black screen

IM tried to hold "fn" or "d" but not help

If i reset CMOS i can reach 5 beeps sometimes

8 beeps means 3 variants only:

1. Dead LCD

2. Loose cable connection, or display cable corrupted.

3. Dead graphic card.

8 гудков означают только 3 варианта:

1. Мертвый ЖК-дисплей (не в вашем случае).

2. Ослаблено соединение кабеля или поврежден кабель дисплея.

3. Мертвая видеокарта.

Is there a possibility that you need to remove the memory from the laptop? the seller from China suggested this option

He said :"reinstall the memory banks"

Hi!

You can try to do this and check if there is any result or not.

I think there's no point in reinstalling the operating system really .
 Maybe you really have a problem with your SSD, I had a similar problem, but there is no way to find it by checking and reinstalling it, or you need to take your whole computer to a technician, or the SSD itself to bring and check (
 That's how my computer went down((

Hard drive failure is usually pretty rare.  GPU/memory issues are much more likely.  If the card is from China likely there is a modified driver or V-bios to install
