Product: HP Z2 Small Form Factor G5 Workstation (9FW01AV)
When I have a PCI-e graphics card in the system, on power-on it will repeat three long and three short beeps a few times. During the beeping, there's a normal single beep and the system boots up like normal but the power button led continues flashing red. I cannot access the bios with a PCI-e graphics card installed.
- I've updated the bios to latest using the network update option in the bios settings.
- I've tried re-seating the graphics card
- and swapping it for another nvidia graphics card
- If I remove any PCI-e graphics card and use the embedded graphics, there is no beeping and everything works as it should.
How do I get it to stop beeping on power up and how do I determine what issue is that's causing this?
