Checked existing Ram to purchase additional Ram. Removed and replaced Ram. Blew out dust from case.

Upon startup got a series of five beeps and five blinking red light  The series of blinking and beeping continued for  five more times the the beeping stop and the blinking continued. The fan in the power supply started to run after about 3 series of the beeping and red light flashing.

Something didn't go well when you removed and replaced the memory.

See the troubleshooting guide, Appendix A, page 58 for how to troubleshoot the 5-beep code error:

Did a little more checking.

First I was able to boot into windows using the original 2g memory.

Purchased 3-4gig memory to determine if I corrupted my original 4gig memory.

The system will not boot up with any of the 4gig ram in the num 1 slot

The computer will only boot with the 2 gig original ram. Thee u number on the original ram is10600U and not the 12800U don't know if this makes a difference.

When I added the 4gig several years back I remembered that I had this similar issue but finally was able to get the system to recognize the additional ram. Should I try to get ram that has the same U number

I don't think the DDR3-12800 memory will go back two clock speeds to 1066 MHz.

The is the memory I used in my HP 8000 Elite CMT which is the upscale model of the 6000 Pro--just has a slightly better chipset and supports RAID.
