hi

sorry, the old hp documents are no longer available
looking at the new here, it doesn't seem to match

HP Desktop PCs - Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code | HP® Customer Support

for some motherboard models, this could correspond to this:

BIOS AMI UEFI
1 short beep / 1 long beep CPU refresh problem. Check the CPU FAN connection. If the problem persists, change the fan.

BIOS Award
1 long beep + 1 short beep Motherboard or RAM error Test your RAM modules and your motherboard.

A thread of discussions but in French it seems that replacing the battery is a solution
