I'm having an issue where my HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF computer beeps five times when I try to boot it up. After about a minute, the fan goes into overdrive, but there's no display or any other signs of life. I recently installed a Fikwo5 Pluto 1TB SSD, but removing it didn't fix the problem. I even tried taking out the CMOS battery for 10 minutes and cleaned the RAM before putting it back. The computer was working fine just yesterday, so I'm at a bit of a loss!

You might want to check your motherboard’s manual for the specific beep codes. The five beeps could indicate a hardware issue like RAM failure or motherboard problems. If you don't have the manual, you can usually find it online with your model number. Good luck!
I didn't realize I could look it up online, thanks! I'll check it out.
