OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 870-244
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

When I turn on my computer, during POST, it does 3 long beeps, then 3 short beeps. This repeats for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, the computer boots up perfectly normal. I tried looking up the beeps online but I couldn't find a single match for my situation. Prior to this, I didn't change any settings or do anything out of the ordinary. I'm desperate! Please help! This has been happening for like 6 months now!

hi

check graphic card

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_1997210-1528385-16

The red light blinks three times, and then three, short white light blinks (3 long red, 3 short white)

This condition indicates a potential graphic chip failure.

Thank you! That was a big help! I was able to determine that there's a problem with my graphics card, but no software or human could determine the cause or a fix... The graphics card still works perfectly fine, for now... I guess I'll just have to deal with the beeps until I upgrade... in like 2 years. 😕
