Solved!
3 long beeps and 4 short ones W Black screen

This is happening for a series of five times. This is terrible because the screen stays black and it does not come back on. I’m not sure what to do. This computer is not even a year old.

@Capozzi Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that you are getting 3 long and 4 shot one beeps with a black screen.
Please attempt the below steps:
Attempt a BIOS recovery > All in one
If the above steps work and the display turns on: Perform a hardware test to be on a safer side.
If the steps didn't work, use the below links for further assistance:
