How to troubleshoot Z800 6 beeps pattern?

Tags: Browser

I have an old HP Z800 workstation. I’ve enabled the Compute for PCIe-16 slots and now it’s not booting anymore. It beeps 6 times and pause then beep again. There is no LED light on the power button. Here’s what I have done so far to troubleshoot this error and it still beeps 6 times.

1. reset CMOS by removing the battery
2. remove cards from all the slots
3. remove memory card and leave only two sticks in

I don’t even get to the POST screen. It starts beeping right after I press the power button. I’m not sure what else to test. I’ve also posted this same issue on HP forum but not one seems to have an idea. This Z800 was working fine until I try to install a Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB – M.2 NVMe and it wasn’t detecting it as a boot drive. However, now, I can’t even boot the computer anymore. Any help is much appreciated.

I have an old HP Z800 workstation. I’ve empowered the Compute for PCIe-16 openings and now it’s not booting any longer. It blares multiple times and interruption at that point signal once more. There is no LED light on the force button. This is what I have done as such far to investigate this mistake it despite everything blares multiple times.

reset CMOS by evacuating the battery

expel cards from all the openings

evacuate memory card and depart just two sticks in

I don’t move beyond POST. It begins signaling directly after I press the force button. I don’t know what else to test. I’ve additionally posted this equivalent issue on HP gathering yet not one appears to have a thought. This Z800 was working fine until I attempt to introduce a Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB – M.2 NVMe and it wasn’t recognizing it as a boot drive. Be that as it may, presently, I can’t boot the PC any longer. Any assistance is quite valued.
