Hi My friends

@sherifbekhit -- I have an old HP Compaq 6005 with the same "4 beeps" issue. Although the computer passes the POST (Power On Self Tests) and can enter BIOS SETUP, there is no way that I can get it to boot -- HDD, CD/DVD, nor USB.

So, I think that your computer, and mine, have achieved their "end-of-life", and need to be "responsibly recycled".

Hi

check if it' s this :

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-compaq-pro-6300-all-in-one-desktop-pc-series/5272039/manuals

I don't have time to look at everything, but oddly enough, it seems to me that this is not referenced
Often 4 short beeps, could be the power supply, or graphics card

Hi I can't make your Suggestion because no display or no screen

@sherifbekhit -- note that @Prométhée suggested that the power-supply may be the problem. Replace it, at least temporarily, to see if that enables any output to your screen.

What I suggest @sherifbekhit 
it is to check, if the page which I gave, corresponds well to your computer
and then to check the documents, I don't have time to read everything, but like I said, what you mentioned, does not seem to me to be mentioned (4 short beeps and white light)
i see just red !!
The following document is general, I can not certify that one or the other is the cause.
the easiest way would be to have it tested by a professional

@sherifbekhit -- update: for my old HP Compaq 6005, I tried a different power-supply. It did not make a difference.

So, I "cannibalized" it -- DVD-DL, RAM, and disk-drive.

I connected the disk-drive to another computer, and it booted correctly from the disk-drive, and is running fine.

I will responsibly take the now-empty computer case (with motherboard) to an "end-of-life" electronics recycling centre.

For me, the "end-of-life" decision was better than paying $50 to $100 to professional computer technicians for them to declare it as "sorry, but it is not repairable".

@itsmyname 
maybe you should specify the model you have
is it exactly the same error code?

@Prométhée -- to answer your question, I will repeat what I wrote:

I have "responsibly recycled" that computer. Not worth my time & money to do any more trouble-shooting than what I have already done.

By the time you should know that this is not enough
HP Compaq 6005

HP Compaq 6005 

there are a few different versions

and "4 short  beeps and white light power led. "

just to be sure it's white and nothing else
We see too often users say that they have the same problem, and finally, there is a difference !!
