[User384]

Hello,My Hp Desktop computer (HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF) It runs Windows 10 64-Bit. I have a problem that when I try to boot my computer it beeps 5 times then the psu fan spins really fast. Is there any solution to this problem?

Hi:

Your PC has a problem of some kind with the memory.

See the troubleshooting guide, Appendix A, page 58 for how to troubleshoot the 5-beep code error.

Thank you! Apparently A stick of ram was faulty or mismatched. I tried 4 gb of ram on it because it previously had 7 gigabytes of mismatched ram.I am probably going to buy new memory or try to reseat it again It works now but it's slow. I'm thinking about buying 16gb of ram or 8gb!

You're very welcome.

Your PC can support a maximum of 4 x 4 GB of DDR3-10600 memory.

I don't know what memory is available in Greece but if you can get these 4 GB chips they should work for your PC:

Timetec 4GB DDR3 / DDR3L 1333MHz PC3-10600 Non ECC Unbuffered 1.5V / 1.35V CL9 Dual Rank for Dell Op...

You have to buy dual rank, low density memory and 1333 Mhz.
