I shut my computer down and it won't cut back on. I get loud alarming sounds. What does that mean?

I closed out all the apps in my computer before shutting down. When I when I started it back up I only get a black screen loud alarming sounds. What does that mean and how can I fix this?

Your HP Desktop PC will emit beep codes at startup if the PC cannot POST.

The beep codes typically have a specific cadence that can used to identify the PC's startup problem.

Some startup error codes may be easily resolved. Other startup error codes might require component troubleshooting and component replacement.
