I had shut down my computer to move it across the room, and when I plugged it back in I got 3 loud long beeps followed by 4 short beeps. I tried unplugging it again, holding down the power for 15 seconds and plugging back in.. same response. I tried unplugging it and hold down the power for 30 seconds and plugging it back in and same response. I have tried powering on and pressing F9, powering and pressing F10... same response.
My computer was purchased in September, so less than a year old. Help please!

Hi Tay
A three beep, four beep cadence suggests the following:
- Reduce to minimum config (CPU, System board, PSU, 1 DIMM of memory) and isolate failed component.
- Reduce further if issue persists.
- Test known good PSU.
- Replace affected component.
- If unable to confirm source, replace CPU, System Board, PSU.
Contact HP Support. You should be in warranty.
