HP Elite 8300 SFF

Hello, I've been using my computer fine for playing games for months, but today somewhy I wanted to see the CPU + GPU temperature so I ran a furmark benchmark, when I saw gpu going to 70C and cpu over 90 if im not wrong, then the pc just shutdown and now I can turn it on.

 

WIth the gpu plugged in I get 4 beeps + 4 beeps + 4 beeps + 4 beeps with the red light on 

 

Without the gpu plugged in I get 2 beeps + 2 beeps + 2 beeps + 2 beeps

(All long beeps)

 

I tried only one ram stick, cleaning it all, reseting the cmos like 10 times, I dont know what to do 😞

 

PC Specs:

I7-3770

Quadro K2200 4GB

PSU 240W

16GB RAM DUAL CHANNEL 1600MHZ

SSD + HDD

Service document here has the following info

the 4 beep, page 259, is overloaded power supply

 

 removing the video card takes a load off the power supply

two beeps is explained on page 257 and include overheating CPU due to (possibly) fan not spinning, 

 

Get air duster and make sure power supply and motherboard area is clean.  Ensure fans spin fast when turned on and then drop speed to "normal" in a few seconds.

 

If you have a thermal sensor make sure the wiring is not damaged.  It is described on pages 323-325.  Possibly not all 8300 use thermal sensors but I am guessing.  Usually if the thermal sensor is not working the bios gives a warning such as press F1 to continue.  

 

If you removed fans for cleaning,  look at the fan connectors to ensure they are correctly connected and not on backwards.  If a fan jumper is labeled CPU the CPU fan needs to be on that one.

 

CPUs have a thermal shutdown safety built in.  Possibly the power supply went bad.  Take system to shop that sells power supplies and if it works then buy the supply from the shop.  Do not order one online as you may have to return it.
