HP Compaq 6005 Pro Base Model Small Form Factor PC

I'm replacing an amd athlon 2 cpu with phenom 2 cpu.  I put in nvidia quadro graphics card.  When I put in the phenom 2 I get 15 beeps in groups of 3 then a red light flashes in groups of 3. Nothing else happens

@Scayalukey,

 

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

 

First, please make sure that your HP Compaq 6005 Pro Base Model Small Form Factor PC has the newest BIOS version:

Please specify which Phenom II processor you are having problems with. One possibility is that a couple of these CPUs may not be compatible:

Another, more likely cause for the error you encountered, could be that you got a defective Phenom II CPU.

 

Btw, the best processor for your HP Compaq 6005 Pro Base Model Small Form Factor PC as fitted with a Hewlett-Packard 3047h motherboard, is the Phenom II X4 980, such as this example.

Also, the Phenom II X4 Bxx processors are compatible, like this User shows with a Phenom II X4 B97.

Anyway, hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,

Thanks for your response Nonsequitur777,

I think the bios is the latest.  It's February of 2009.  Here's a screenshot of the cpu:

@Scayalukey,

 

Please check again: the latest BIOS update for your desktop is from May 2012.

 

You could try to clear CMOS and see if this resolves your issue: HP Compaq 6005 Pro Microtower, Small Form Factor, and Ultra-Slim Desktop PCs - Statement of Volatili....

 

Btw, here is an identical earlier discussion: hp compaq 6005 pro small form factor processor upgrade - HP Support Community - 5663235.

 

Kind Regards,
