4 beeps & red light on startup.  Fails to start. 
I installed a new power supply and  reseated & added new ram. Cleaned the fan. Please help with next steps in repairing.

@Towle3288, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Power reset your desktop computer

  • Perform a power reset (or hard reset) of your desktop computer to clear information from the computer memory without erasing personal data.
  • Turn off the computer.
  • Disconnect the AC adapter.
  • Disconnect all nonessential peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.
    • Note: Do not disconnect your mouse, keyboard, or monitor.
  • With the AC adapter unplugged, press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.
  • After you drain the capacitors, reconnect the AC adapter. Leave peripheral devices disconnected.
  • Turn on the computer.

Next, follow the guide and look for the specific pattern of the beeps and blinks: HP Desktop PCs - Computer beeps or a light blinks during startup | HP® Support
