Red Power LED flashes four times, once every second,followed by a two second pause.
Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue until problem is solved
Power failure (powersupply is overloaded).
OR
The incorrect external power supply adapter is being used on the USDT.

There are three different models with the HP Compaq Pro 6300
Here is the manual that covers the MicroTower and the Small Form Factor
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04034127.pdf
On page 192 are the beep codes and LED codes.
The 4 beeps is - Power failure (power supply is overloaded).
To the right column is the recommended solution.
Sorry @Prométhée took me too long to answer
