@alex268 -- can you match your pattern of "beep codes" to: HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - BIOS Beep Codes | HP® Customer Support  ???

 

Also, if your computer has an add-in video-card, be sure that it is fully & correctly "seated" into its socket on the motherboard.

hi @alex268 

yes

probably
if you have two memory modules tested one then the other
unfortunately sometimes it can be a problem with the motherboard, or memory slot

check if this one

  • Speed: PC4-19200 MB/s
  • Type: DDR4-2400

 

  • ual channel (2 DIMMs per channel) memory architecture

  • Supports PC4-19200 (DRR4-2400)
  • Supports 4 GB and 8 GB DDR4 UDIMMs
  • Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit systems
    note:

try  scan or manual  search

Welcome to Crucial USA
if you have a single 8gb module,

buy an 8 gb module, and why not if it works a second

try upgrading to 16gb
