If it’s a desktop, make sure the monitor’s cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA) is securely connected to both the PC and the monitor. If it’s a laptop, try connecting an external monitor (if you have one) using the appropriate port.

You can remove the hard drive or SSD.
Connect it to another working computer using a USB to SATA adapter or an external enclosure.
Access your files directly and copy your photos/memories. - AlexBlytheIron Contributor
yes, your photos and memories are very likely still there, and no, you don’t need to repair it just to recover them.
