Hi @jitty1,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your All-in-One desktop computer keeps beeping and won't start up, it typically indicates a hardware issue. The beeping sound is often a BIOS beep code that helps diagnose the problem. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot this issue:

**1. Identify the Beep Code

Listen to the Beeps:

• Note the pattern of the beeps (e.g., continuous, short and long beeps, or a specific number of beeps). The pattern can help identify the specific issue.

Refer to the Manual:

• Check the user manual or the hp website for the beep codes specific to your All-in-One model. Beep codes vary by manufacturer and model.

**2. Basic Troubleshooting

Power Cycle the Computer:

• Turn off the computer and unplug it from the power source.
• Wait for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Plug it back in and turn it on.

Check Connections:

• Ensure that all cables (power, monitor, peripherals) are securely connected.
• If you recently moved the computer, check for loose or disconnected cables.

**3. Inspect Hardware Components

Reseat RAM:

• If you’re comfortable opening the computer, reseat the RAM modules. Remove the RAM sticks and then reinsert them securely into their slots.

Check Internal Cables:

• Ensure that all internal cables are properly connected. This includes power cables to the motherboard and other components.

Inspect for Loose Parts:

• Check for any loose or improperly seated components, such as hard drives or expansion cards.

**4. Remove External Devices

• Unplug all external devices (keyboard, mouse, printers, etc.) except the power cable.
• Try starting the computer with only essential components connected.a
• If the computer starts up successfully with minimal peripherals connected, reconnect devices one by one to identify any faulty peripheral.

**5. Check for Overheating

• Make sure the computer has adequate ventilation and is not overheating. Overheating can cause startup issues and beeping.
• Dust buildup can block airflow and cause overheating. If comfortable, open the computer case and clean out dust with compressed air.

**6. Reset BIOS:

• If you’re comfortable with hardware, try clearing the CMOS. This involves removing and reinserting the CMOS battery on the motherboard to reset BIOS settings to default.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
