Product: HP Compaq Elite 8300
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I was messing with my ram a bit and when I turned on my pc I heard 5 short beeps.

Not sure what is causing this problem.

Hi:

 

5 beeps, with a corresponding red flashing power LED, means there is some kind of issue with the memory.

 

See the service manual at the link below, chapter 11, page 303 for the 5 beep code troubleshooting steps.

Then I don't know what 5 plain beeps are.

 

There is nothing in the service manual regarding any other beep codes.

 

I suggest you go through the memory troubleshooting steps anyway.

 

You have nothing to lose by giving it a try.
