Tried to enter bios settings using F10 key. Now I get 3 long beeps  and 4 short beeps when I turn it off and back on again. How do I recover?  This is a family machine.

Hi @JWR11985 

 

This error indicates that you do not have enough power for the components you are using, have you made any hardware changes?

  1. Reduce to minimum configuration (CPU, System board, PSU, 1 DIMM of memory), and then isolate the failed component.

  2. Reduce further if issue persists.

  3. Test your system with a known good PSU.

  4. Contact HP Customer Support for further assistance to replace the component, system board, processor (CPU), or PSU if the issue persists.
