RobertCecil Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I recently had to Install a new HDD. The old one was failing, and I also needed more space and computer restarted on its own and kept getting worse. After I did, the computer began restarting on occasion for no apparent reason. The event log never seems to have any reasons as to why. After looking for some time I found the patches for the meltdown and specter issues and downloaded them and also was prompted to flash the bios. The computer continued to occasionally restart on its own so I turned auto-restart off (a setting in system settings) and did a registry edit that tells the computer to not restart with a user logged on and it seemed to work. Then it started loosing signal and beeping 4 times over and over . If i turn it off and back on it starts up and runs fine til it decides to do it again.I have tried resetting the ram and while i was at it cleaned the case and fans .Temp is staying cool around 38 degrees .Computer is also now showing a TPM issue and wants me to clear tpm but when i do it asks for password i dont have. windows 10 pro 64 bit i-7 4770 geforce gtx 1050 ti computer is a hp elite-desk 800 g1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted May 22, 2018 Supervisor Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hello, There are several reasons that a Hewlett Packard computer could beep four times, according to https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07107 : Thermal issue (CPU or other component is overheating) CPU configuration error/imcompatible CPU installed Fatal error with motherboard or component such as the CPU Memory errors. Given the problems you are havig, though, and the age of the computer, I am wondering if the CMOS/RTC CR-2032 +3VDC backup battery coin cell needs to be replaced.
