Here is a thread on the same topic
Give it a read and try the solutions - more than one to try - and see if any of those help.
I'm not an HP employee.

NO PC told
full model
if you go to your HP support page and tell it real full model you see manuals and in those manuals are all HP blink and beep codes, for sure all POST ERRORS.
the codes change by YEARs of PC and series.
best is to look your up directly
there are 22 favors of AIO 24 seen here none I can guess./

unplug all USB devices first? see if boots
or see if BIOS works, power on (from dead cold off) and hammer ESC then F2
see your PCs full model there and full product number, both help , to solve why it fails.
beeps mean serious hardware failure mostly and there are 20 steps to find it, 1 above USB is first.
if you google 3 long + 4short.
you see many telling about some alien bad, USB wifi dongle there and is shorted so again on all PCs made that beep
remove all USB devices first, to see if the POST Codes like that still remain.
it is a hard ware failure. that we know.
PCs can FAIL pre POST , POST live or end, or OS dead.
my guess yours is PREPOST hard failed, and is power issue they will say
see shorted USB cable do that and even tested this my self in the lab. Vbus+ to shields shorts are very bad, and PC now dead. (on smarter PCs, I have them too, it only shut the USB port down and boots ok but port is now dead.
self protection using smarter Vbus power reg, chips,
that is how it works, but all you do is unplug things to find short. up to 20 classes devices can and do short. a tech assumes this and proves otherwise. testing. "called power fault isolation testing" in business. (for 4 decades in my case)
