HP z400 workstation: workstation z400 giving 5 beeps Red

• Z400: four short beeps

  Recently, I moved from xw4400 (second hand) Z400. The transfer was relatively easy: I moved from SSD from the old to the new computer and made a few adjustions. Everything is fine, except:

  1. after closing down (and usually before logon) a four short beeps is the herd. Computer passed all the test of the utility of diagnosis (downloaded from HP). I made two changes to the system: Add a card WiFi PCI fan fore (directly connected to the transformer unit, not MB) (not working as before - usually need to press Connect)

  2. at the time of startup, before the login screen, there is a wait of 5 to 10 seconds (black screen with a cursor in the upper left; a very short message 'Attempt to start hard drive', and then connect you). Interestingly, I tried a completely clean installation of Win 7 Pro, but a black screen remains.

  Any input will be greatly appreciated.

  Gojko,
  
  1. the Z400 sometimes will give a 4 beeps if the system is shut down, and if the power cord is pulled (or AC power supply is cut off by a switch on a power strip), then the power button is pressed a few seconds after turning off the power (with power still disconnected).  What is happening, the system will try to power upward after pressing the power button, use the small residual charge in the system.  There is not enough power for the system to start to give of false beeps "power."
  
  However, these beeps to the power down don't cause the system failure and do not prevent the system startup when the power supply is reconnected.  It looks like a failure, but it is not.
  Just to be sure, you do run on 120 or 240 VAC?
  The system has never failed to turn on when the system is plugged into a power outlet?
  
  2. a few start-up systems after a wait of 5 second or 10 with the cursor in the corner.  I don't know why this happens, but it is normal that on many systems.
  
  You said you took records previous and other elements of the xw4400.  You reinstall the operating system?  You update the drivers?  I recommend that you install the latest driver for chipset Z400 and other drivers, if you have not already done so.

• HP Z600 workstation: Z600 - POST error beep (5 five beeps)

  I bought an opportunity Workstation Z600 with 12 GB of ram and two processors E5520 Xeon a year ago. It has operated VMware esxi 6 like a champ, 24/7, no problem.  I made a change to esxi to activate technology hyper threading that I had not been activated previously. The change required a reboot.

  Directly after the restart, the Z600 gave an error of 5 beeps with power led to change from blue to red and flashes red with each beep.

  I found the Z600 maintenance manual and the diagnostic code refers to a "memory error video pre.  I have tried the following to resolve the error without success:

  1. Reinstall the DIMMs.
  2. Replace DIMMS one by one to isolate the faulty module.
  3. Removed power system without DIMM DIMMS, bike and re-placed DIMM (it was a 'technical' repair suggested on another post here in the forums of HP for a matter of "5 beeps").
  4. Replaced with different compatible DIMM DIMMS.
  5. Replaced the motherboard with used, but identical motherboard number and repeat steps 1 to 4.

  At this point, I don't know what I can do a troubleshooting point.

  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  Just a last follow-up.

  I removed the 2nd CPU, cleared the CMOS but it still some messages with error 5 beep. Swapped all of RAM sticks, swapped CPU 1 with the 2nd and traded off the RAM sticks again. Each combination was the POST error.

  I threw in the towel. I thought about buying the new RAM since all my RAM is used, but I can't justify spending good money after bad on a hunch, it's the RAM. I will part out the Z600 and try to recover some of my losses.

  Just that there is another method I wish diagnostic I could apply to understand what is the question.

  Who knew restart, after a year of solid service, would kill the PC.

  Thank you all.

• Workstation Z600: card graphic Workstation Z600 error (Six beeps)

  Hello, this is my first time posting in the forums and I can't upgrade my video card. I'm relatively new to the PC upgrade, so bear with me.

  Currently, I use a HP Z600 workstation with a graphics card XFX Radeon HD 6670 1, without any problem. I have two slots for PCIe 2.0 x 16, and I've read that I should be able to also use cards which have PCIe 3.0. The 650W power supply also has a power cable 6 unique pins.

  The new card, I am using is a MSI Gaming R9 8 390, which uses the PCIe 3.0 and locations for a 8 pin and a power cable 6 pin.  When I replace the video card and you turn on the system, the repeated red power button blinks six times, each with a beep. The light on the card, but fans do not rotate, which may actually be a feature of the map in order to stay calm.

  So far, I was able to use a location for both, power cable or the 6 - 8 pins (using the 6-pin to 8 pin adapter supplied with the card). I tried the switch between the two slots (slots 2 and 4) PCIe card, but I still get the power button flashes red when turned on. I've also updated my bios to v3.57.

  I am able to start the computer when I replaced the HD6670, without the beeps. I tried to have 390 R9 also connected, but it does not appear in the Windows Device Manager.

  For me, it seems that the motherboard is not just pick up the card. Is it possible that the right card is not correctly powered and I need a power splitter cable? Have I not a card that is dead on arrival? Or is the 390 R9 simply incompatible with my system?

  I solved my problem by using the separator.

  In case someone else also try to upgrade their system gpu, it is indeed necessary connect the two power of the graphics card ports. Once, my card was required a 6 pins and a PCIe power plug 8-pole, and I used just splitters and adapters to connect to the extra cable 6 pin of the Z600.

  Beware however: because my card uses a decent amount of power, I had to underclock my card about 10% or my rig will re-start himself when running 3D applications. I read online that it can be solved if you use a separate extra, external power supply or connect to another pc supply, but I am satisfied with her downclock so I will do that now. Still, you can't replace the power supply of the Z600 because it is designed specifically for this workstation.

• Z240 SFF Workstation: Z240 SFF beep Code 3.3 (graphics)

  Greetings,

  We bought the Dells years but has recently begun to give HP a glance. The first unit I received just stopped working during testing of deployment and gives me 3 long beeps (red LED) with 3 short beeps (white LED). According to the manual, this translates, "the on-board controller exceeded waiting for BIOS return the initialization of graphics. I couldn't find the specific troubleshooting steps for this error I did what follows based on the tests that I did:

  -Cleared CMOS

  The system only would not start after that application of the BIOS settings using the Configuration BIOS HP utility so maybe something went wrong there. That said, I applied the settings with this tool several times before on the same system without problem, but thought it was worth a start. Here is my config file:

  BIOSConfig 1.0
  
  Legacy startup options
  
  	Disable
  
  	* Select
  
  Legacy boot order
  
  	HDD:USB:1
  
  	CDROM:SATA:1
  
  	HDD:SATA:1
  
  	NETWORK: SHIPPED: 1
  
  UEFI boot options
  
  	* Disable
  
  	Enable
  
  Configure legacy support and secure start
  
  	* Legacy Support enable and Secure Boot Disable
  
  	Disable legacy support and Secure Boot Enable
  
  	Disable legacy support and Secure Boot Disable

  -Exchanged cards (Nvidia Quado K420) video with a known good card. We bought two units to test if I had an identical system to Exchange.

  -Shared memory.

  -Reinstall any cables.

  Any ideas on what I should try before you send it again?

  Last update 08/08: another IT unit in our Organization has reported the same beep code with one of the Z240s they just bought. For them, the BIOS has refused to save all the settings and could not start later.

  Last update 08/09:

  Another machine died today. Same case, technicians were simply trying to configure the BIOS settings. Another detail is that these have been shipped with BIOS version 01.24. I recommend our technicians that they update to version 01.27 for now, but the notes do not mention a specific fix for what we see. I hope someone from HP can jump in here soon...

  Product no.: L8T14AV

  For all those who could fall on this thread... I managed to reproduce the problem by going to Configuration of Boot Secure and uncheck the box 'Key activate MS UEFI CA'. After talking with the help of HP, it was determined that we should not be in contact with this option at all. This option is intended for graphics cards configured for backup device from Microsoft.

  In addition, there is a bug in the BIOS version 01.24 which prevents the Clear CMOS button to work correctly, so there is no recourse for a person who commits the mistake of setting the option above. HP will provide an update in revision 01.28 to stop people from shooting itself in the foot. It is recommended to update the systems at 01.27 for now.

  Finally, we do not have an answer to what happened to systems that could not save changes to BIOS and subsequently on faileed to start. I will update this thread if it becomes something more than an anomaly.

• How can I run Workstation on Linux?

  Hello

  I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Workstation 6.5 on a Red Hat Linux on a Dell M6400 operating system evaluation.  Apparently the installation went well.  He asked me for nothing and finally just said that the installation has been completed except for a mistake to dev/tty or something like that.  Now that it is installed, how can I run?  I can not even find it.  I looked at the menu "Applications" and it lists games, word processing and a bunch of other stuff, but no reference to VMware.  IWhere does Linux install its applications?  If I try to install Workstation he claims again once it is already installed.  If I did a Windows installation, I would been have with that a long time ago I think.  However, I don't know anything about Linux which makes it more difficult.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Ray

  I haven't installed Linux myself, but here's a good doco on how to do it... were your steps identically or similar?

• dv2055 ea starts - beep code errors

  Hi all

  I am writing to the following problem (and I'm desperate enough):

  I have this laptop, which, in the last days sometimes not been started, giving rather beep errors. Today, it just does not start.

  Now, the weird thing is that it gives a long beep and two short, while checking here I found only the references to (I assume) number of beeps.

  So, I just spread this oddity and removed benches from memory and tried everything (Bank 1 in slot 1 and then slot 2; Bank 2 slot 1 and then into the slot 2: I've upgraded memory, but I did a year ago), but I've only got a change in the number of beeps: they became 4, shorter, and it seemed that they were from the internal PC speaker and not from the speaker "big media" (made I can try using headphones and check this box)

  Worst thing is that I am now studying abroad: I can't send (I guess) my laptop using, and I must keep my HD.

  So, no idea what's going on / what I need to do?
  Thank you very much

  You have a GPU issue.

  Assuming that you are out of warranty and the desire for the workbook as soon as posible, I advise you to go to the component repair shop nearest.

  The connection between the GPU chip and the motherboard must be reorganized.

  If you have any EE skils you can repair yourseft, google for redesign or motherboard, you will find useful information.

• Z420 HP: HP Z420 support gtx 980 ti

  Hello
  Does HP Z420 support GTX 980 Ti GPU?
  
  There are some problems, I am facing
  
  1. I put GTX 980 Ti GPU and changing the corsair PSU AX 860i but system does not work on
  
  2 - when I put GTX 980 Ti GPU and power separately yet system giving the beep and the red light
  
  Separately the means - for GPU I use different and default system HP Delta PSU power.
  
  3. when I try to run GTX 980 it with HP delta PSU shows insufficient power for GTX 980 Ti system, it took more power.
  
  Well help me I'm not what I'm doing wrong here.

  I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't see anything else to try.  The BIOS settings you tried are what I would have recommended.

• Need to find a portable sutable for VMWARE + courses

  I think I need a new computer for the class, my 64-bit has problems, so I'm taking suggestions. Please, I beg you!

  I want to use it on my next assignment also is not just for the workstation. More things VMWARE Red Hat classes of server.

  I was thinking about something with min of

  2 hard drives

  16 GB of memory or more (heard crases VMWARE with anything any more than 8)

  Intel Quad CPU

  Double video cards

  Perhaps a gaming machine? Alienware? Dell XPS (high-end)

  Not a fan of HP

  Any help, I would like to share with other vets who can hold also.

  The two laptops that I talk to Toshiba, laptop my friend is a MacBook Pro.

  The thing with this is that the faster and the more recent the better, but sometimes could simply not be necessary and might cost you more money when (probably) which is not such a powerful piece, you could achieve the performance you need.

  I'm not a big fan of big disks drives, but if you need that amount of space... which always depends on. I know that my next purchase will use SSDS.

  The graphics card, I don't think that you will take the benefit thereof in a virtual environment.

  I think for this issue, you can have as many answers as users in this community LOL

  Kind regards

• Run the guest operating system automatically during system boot

  I have a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 and that you have installed Workstation 8.0.2 with Red Hat Linux 5 OS guest. I need to start the virtual machine and OS startup invited automatically when Windows starts. I would have thought it's a routine operation but I cannot find any mention of how this can be done in the Workstation documentation.

  Can someone provide a pointer to how this is possible?

  You must change the virtual machine in a shared VM.  Should be the documentation available in the help file on shared virtual machines.

• Are there known problems of VMware Server transition to the Workstaton

  Hello

  As VMware Server end of support announced ( http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/lifecycle/general/index.html) I was looking at transition to VMware Server 2 of VMware WorkStation. I have a Red Hat Linux host machine that has a VMware Server running on it with a single virtual machine. I was hoping to find out what are the problems might face to make the transition from one environment to another.

  I am aware that the server and the workstation cannot co exist on the same system, so basically I need to uninstall the server and install the work station. I am also aware that virtual machines are generally compatible between the two products. I also read on the comparison between products. ( http://vmfaq.com/entry/5/ )

  Are there other traps?

  Thank you

  Varun

  Hello

  You can download the VIX API (it contains the text console vmrun command - he didn't need a desktop case to run) from here.

  If you install the VIX API in a remote machine (not here where the workstation it is installed), you will be able to administer the computer zone in a passing distance.

  Of course, you can do the same thing on the workstation itself locally, using vmrun/vix it is included with workstation.

  Here you will find a tutorial on using vmrun to administer the virtual machine.

  Hope this helps

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• COMPLETELY BREAK virtual network Editor

  Hello VMware

  Although we are a customer paying - at least for now - I can't find another way to communicate with you about the problems with your code. I hope that you are listening here.

  I am under reviews Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS 32-bit on 64-bit VMware Workstation 6.5.2 on Red Hat Linux version 2.6.18 on X 86 64 bit.

  'Edit - & gt;' Virtual Network Editor"does ABSOLUTELY nothing.

  You run as root?  I expect the VNE to require admin privledges to run, as on Vista and new MS OS with the higher security model, it must be run as an administrator.  You may need to su or sudo it.

• HP Elite 8100 sff: need support of recovery for HP Desktop

  I friend of mine has a desktop HP Elite 8100 SFF with processor i3 with 4 GB of ram was trying to upgrade to windows 7 pro or business pro (if there is a difference) 10 and all the process erased the hard disk windows and windows 10 has not completed the update/install.  There was a problem, but he's not sure what she was.  This attempt was several weeks ago.  After that it wouldn't boot obviously and beep (red light) 5 times in the models.  I think it is a ram problem.  Upgrading windows 10 will cause the ram to go wrong, because he could not bear?  There is also no recovery media for the operating system.  They always make it for this pc?  Thanks in advance.

  Hello:

  Windows may not cause the memory to go wrong.

  The first thing to do for this problem would be to remove and reconnect firmly all memory modules.

  If this fails to solve the problem, remove all modules but one and test each one individually in the black slot nearest the processor.  One causing the PC to 5 beeps is bad and must be replaced.

  If this fails to solve the problem, most likely the system board is bad because it is doubtful that all modules of memory could be faulty.

  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number of order recovery media.  Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

• When I add my composition to Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it makes it wrong?

  How is it that when I add my composition directly effects to adobe media encoder, it makes out of adobe media encode correctly? I mean, here the video fate a bit scrambled pieces of it overlap other parts. Is this a problem with "dynamic link"? I did something wrong? I work in CC.

  I think you fail to understand what is said. When you add one composition to another, add a composition with a red background for a composition with a blue background, red background goes away and the blue background is preserved, not vice versa. Select the transparency grid and you will see the blue background disappears and you see the transparency. It has always been this way since you were able to select a color background in AE there nearly 20 years.

  When you render a lossless without alpha format and the color is defined prior multiplied (red in your example) background color is multiplied with the alpha pre giving you a red background in your render lossless. If you add your Main Comp to the TEA and you have no option for pre multiply the alpha channel, so it is ignored and you end up with a black background. If you change the output settings in the SOUL to something like JPEG 2000 and 32-bit or 32-bit PNG, you will get a straight alpha channel, the industry standard, and a black background. If you choose a codec which does not support alpha channels, you get just a black background.

  I guess what I'm trying to say is that everything works exactly as it was designed to work, and the only reason why you found the red background of your comps background color when you return a lossless with alpha multiplied pre, is that the background color is meadow multiplied with the bottom. In a normal production pipeline it is assumed you want to preserve the transparency throughout the production process. Multiplying the background color is useful in a scenario very little. More than 40 years the realization of films and creating special effects and composites (yes I did in a lab with the movie) I have never used an alpha pre multiplied with a background colored except in a situation of class in order to demonstrate that it is. Here's how you can see with a multiplied pre alpha is. :

  Rotate your model nested 30º in order to have some aliasing then try rendering your comp with the lossless with alpha preset and keep premultiplied lit for the alpha channel. Look carefully at the embattled edges and you will see a red mixed in on the edges. You can also use the lossless and then restore an alpha only, together the alpha only made as matte to make without loss and you will see the Red edges once again. Use straight alpha and the edges disappear. Here is this that rendered Lossless with alpha and multiplied pre gives you.

  

  So, assuming you still want to maintain complete transparency in the production pipeline that everything works as it should with one exception, the settings default lossless with alpha should probably be for default rendering right alpha then people who are not familiar with the use of alpha channels and a standard production pipeline would not be caught. As I said in the first place, this isn't a bug, it is normal for a production pipeline. Do not understand how AE or any other composition app handles alpha channels, that's what attracted to you. If you want a background color, add a solid. The only reason forever the background color of a black everything except model value is for those rare occasions where you might want to throw some color in the alpha edges.
