Hi, I have a HP Pavilion 500-341nv and start-up power led goes off and I get 6 beeps and after that power led again beds and boots normally into windows pc!

The problem is that I can't get into the BIOS Setup to disable secure boot, I tried hitting ESC or F10 at different times during boot with no luck, no idea how to get into the BIOS setup?

Hello @Alimousios,

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

I read your post on how your desktop computer emits six times when it starts first, and that you are not able to enter the BIOS. I'd love to help you in this case!

According to the information provided in this document on BIOS Beep Codesbeep codes six indicate a fatal error related to the operation of critical components - such as the CPU. To fix this, I recommend you contact technical support by clicking on the link below to get help from your region number.

  • Pavilion dv4 4620us: 2 beeps at startup

    At the start of my laptop, it will beep twice quickly. What does that mean? All LEDS are functioning normally.

    Remove the bars of memory and one of them put in the slot nearest soDIMM inside the laptop.

    Start in Windows to see if there is error repeats. You may need to run the laptop in a lower memory configuration for a few days to test the module. If the first test is the problem, then the other module has problems and should not be used.

    Replace the memory modules as an identical pair with a new set of compatible memory modules guarantee from a well know maker of memory as Crucial or Corsair.

  • 500-300na Pavilion: problem with Pavilion 500-300na (mother of Memphis-S) - Dead / no beeps sound and video

    Hello - I hope someone can help me please

    I have desktop PC HP Pavilion 500-300na.
    The PC worked very well without problem - I went for a stay of two weeks during which the PC was not in use and power was turned off. I'm back from vacation and the PC does not work now.

    When you press the power button, the LED lights up, CPU fan, electric fan and the two spin system fan. There is no video. There is no beep error codes. What is it - actually dead.
    If I hold the button for about 5 to 10 seconds, the fans run down, but the rest spinning CPU fan.

    What I've done so far:

    Tried another monitor.
    Tried a different power supply.
    Powered by the motherboard on its own with any other disconnected.
    Taken the Cmos battery on the motherboard for 1 min and replaced it.
    Clean the dust from the fans (they were not so bad as to be honest).

    The machine worked with in PCI16 slot video card - I removed this for the test. As I can't get into the Bios, I can't put in the work of the "mother video card." Not sure if it is a problem.
    The unit has a strip of 8 GB of ram DDR3 - I tried this in another location without any changes.
    I have not tested the ram. I have not tested the CPU or deleted one of the fans / heat sinks.

    Thanks for any help you can provide

    Okay, I think THAT I managed to fix it and understand what the problem was.

    I think the problem was double - first of all, before the problem started, Technical Assistance from HP have a BIOS update and download. I think that this update changed the Startup Configuration in the BIOS to "ENABLED" Secure.

    Not really a problem. . BUT...

    The video card I was running was a riser and secure boot DISABLED neeeded and legacy support ENABLED.

    I have reset the BIOS using the jumper (bios password) information – I also did a 'blind' changing information from the bios to switch to the use of the video of the motherboard (bash F10 for 10 seconds at the start, then three arrows down, then two returns... This pass BIOS to "Apply default settings and exit"). I don't know who really helped, but the machine comes up in life.

    I put the information here, in which case another experience a similar problem.

  • Pavilion 500 - C60: new office reads, "ERROR: no boot disk was detected or the disc has failed" at startup.

    Just bought Pavilion 500 - C60, running Windows 8.1 64-bit and am doing everything on old HP running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2. Has not gone smoothly from one thing to another, but I think everything comes together. A couple of days, began to receive the error message at startup or, if I COULD do so that it starts would go for awhile and then would get an ERROR message, requiring restart. Usually after obtaining the error message several times, the computer would then initialize. Tonight, I couldn't override the error message for anything! When you press power button / stop, I hear (HD) running for a few seconds, everything is silent, and then the error message appears on the gray screen dark in white letters, BACK very and sinister looking! Any suggestions? Had the computer about two months and it has not been easy.

    Not good!  Check all the connectors and the hard drive to make sure that they are correctly wired in place. Make sure that your cable is not reversed.

    Contact the seller if still under warranty for repair.  This could be the hard drive or motherboard and the problem lies the only diagnosis from a repair facility.

  • HP Pavilion 500-054: HP Pavilion 500 6 beeps cannot no display

    I have a HP Pavilion 500. I recently went to my BIOS screen and the BIOS did update then my computer shut down. Now every time I turn on my computer, I get 6 beeps and no display. The light stays on and I can hear my fans running, but that's all.

    I didn't change anything in the BIOS before or during this time, I went alone to the screen automatically updated. I have a graphics card in my PC which came with the computer, but this is not a new installation, and has been since I bought (2 years ago.)

    You are not sure if the material breaks and it's a coincidence, or if the BIOS update has messed up my computer?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello:

    In addition to what Erico posted, you had previously installed a video card no HP, correct?

    Because the product for your PC specification indicates that it came with W8, you would have needed to go into the BIOS, disable secure boot and turn on legacy mode so that the video card working.

    Otherwise you would have obtained the alarm beep 6 just after you installed the card.

    Then... I think that what has happened, is the set of update of the BIOS the BIOS of your computer to its default settings (off legacy mode, active secure boot) and now your video card is rejected.

    Recommendation... stop, unplug the PC and remove your add on video card.

    Plug power on your PC and to go into the BIOS, turn on legacy mode and disable secure again boot.

    Shut down the computer, unplug it and reinstall your add on video card.

    See this link for the BIOS settings need to be changed...

  • Computer continuously beeps at startup but is not on (Compaq Mini CQ10-500)

    Hello, if I was about to do a factory restore on my computer later in the day, but I was unlucky that the computer has stopped working when I turn on it beeps continuously and won't turn on, I chose the option "Start windows normally" and even the possibility that files (to fix the problem don't not let me start) controls/Diagnostics , but when he says "loading files" it begins to beep again and the process stops.

    Someone please help me with this?

    I also read that he "might" be a problem with the RAM, but maybe it was for a different problem or if, but if it's a problem with the RAM, so how can I solve this problem?

    Hello Cosmic_Wolf,

    I understand your beeps at startup.

    You can try reinstalling the RAM.

    Remove the ram and then reinsert it.

    Also do a hard reset.
    Turn off the computer.
    Remove the power cable and battery.
    Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth energy sources are deleted.

    This should reset the hardware in the computer.

    That you put it on press the F10 key. This will load the BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load the default values.
    Press F10 to save and exit.

    When the computer starts up, check if everything is working.

    I would like to know how everything goes.

    More recent versions of the UEFI suport Sapphire cards if it is stated in the specs on the website of the company. Perhaps you should consider returning and its replacement by a new PCIe card.

    Here is the list of specifications to Sapphire in the link below. Notice that most of the R9 series supports UEFI. There is no map of R7 series made my Sapphire Tech who take care of UEFI.

  • HP Pavilion 500-164, upgrade the video card.

    I replaced the power supply in this area for a graphics card into the PCIE slot. I put a Nvidia 9600 GT in the box, not changed no settings, tried to start, and I get no bios and 6 beeps. Any advice?

    Based on specifications, your desktop HP Pavilion 500-164 has been bundled with Windows 8 installed and has a feature called 'Secure Boot'. You must DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ACTIVATE the standby mode 'legacy' in the BIOS before the computer will start with the nVidia 9600 GT installed.

    Please, remove the video card, make changes to the BIOS and turn off the computer. Then, reinstall the video card and turn on the computer. Your problem should be solved.

    Please see Computer Does starts is not after the installation of a videocard (Windows 8) for more information on the subject.

  • HP Pavilion 500-314: big problems by adding an external video card

    You are looking for assistance.

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion 500-314.  Specifications are the following:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04293928

    The unit includes the integrated graphics card Radeon R7 and comes with a 300w power supply

    I bought this unit in large part because it states explicitly that "supports PCI Express x 16 graphics cards".  I run a quad-monitor configuration for my work and traditionally did it this using a card ATI over-pants 2450.

    I tried now three different external graphics cards and can get any of them to work:

    First attempt was with a VisionTec Radeon HD 5570 (point #900345).  This card supports quad-monitor configuration and requires a minimum power of 250w.  When I installed the card, the HP Pavilion beeps several times a series of 4 or 5 (can't remember which) emits a beep, but refused to send an image to a video output (either on board or the new card).

    Next attempt was with an EVGA GeForce GT 610.  It's a Setup dual monitor and requires a minimum 300w power supply.  Got the same exact response as with the VisionTec (i.e. the series of beeps... computer would not start all monitors).

    So both of these cards (new), I basically gave up immediately that I couldn't in the BIOS (b/c wouldn't monitors) to see what was going on.  My understanding is that the series of 4-5 beeps usually means that there is a problem of graphics card, or the card that was added doesn't have enough power.  It's frustrating, because the HP Pavilion 500-314 a supposedly a 300w power supply, which is at least equal to the minimum required for each of these cards.

    At this point, I took out the ATI over-pants 2450 my old machine and tried.  This card at least has not caused the series of 4-5 beeps.  Windows has started.  However, once I log in, Windows tries to install the new (card over-pants) repeatedly, only then, the screen flashes and blinks and flashes.  Then I went into the BIOS.  The BIOS indicates that the system recognizes the card, and that the integrated video has been disabled.  However, there is always a signal coming out of the onboard video output (DVI), so it is not in fact actually disabled.  My feeling is that Windows is trying to control two separate video cards (edge + external), which is what causes the problems.  I can turn off the graphics card over-pants w/under Windows (in Safe Mode) and let the card installed, and things work fine.  However, as soon as I try and activate the card, I get endless cycle flashing monitors.

    I spent a few long sessions with HP technical support and they were useless.  They claim that this is not a problem of HP as the embedded video works fine.  I find this extremely frustrating response.  I think it is a matter of HP, because BIOS doesn't seem to be properly disable the onboard video.  Not to mention that the PC can't seem to properly interface with Windows compatible 8 PCI-E cards that claim explicitly require less energy than this unit has.

    I'm usually pretty computer savvy, but have reached my wits end on this one.  I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide.  I tried all kinds of combinations of variables (i.e. enabling integrated video, setting external card at the elementary level, etc.) through the BIOS, but also combinations of w/under Windows, disable integrated video, but nothing is working.

    900345 VisionTek Radeon HD 5570 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x 16

    Big_Dave,

    Thanks a lot for your quick response.

    The first time that I spoke with HP support, they had me disable secure boot.  Unfortunately my problems (i.e. the cards would not install correctly).  However, after reading the link you provided that I was inspired to try things one last time with a new beginning.  I uninstalled all drivers, removed all cards, re-engaged start-up secured, restarted, close, disabled secure boot, reinstalled the cards and rebooted.  And, this time, the system accepts the card GeForce GT 610.

    Difficult for me to express how grateful I am to you.  I spent two weeks and countless hours trying to get this corrected.  Just I found these forums earlier wish.
