3 long beeps, 2 short beeps on boot

[Tyler138]

Whenever I boot up, I get 3 long beeps and 2 short beeps. I heard that means it’s a ram issue, so i have tried rearranging the ram, etc. It still repeats the same issue, would appreciate any help.

Hi @Tyler138,

Welcome to HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are getting 3 long and 2 short beeps on the Desktop, thank you for letting me know about the steps you have tried, it could be a hardware issue, let's try a Memory test and share the result for more help.

Memory test :

1) Shutdown the computer.  

2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears.  

3) Press F2 once.  

4) Go to Component test.  

5) From the list, run the Memory (extensive) test.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
