A memory problem...

"Pre-video memory error."

"Power LED blinks red five times, once a second, followed by a two second pause, and five simultaneous beeps are sounded"

"1. Reseat the DIMMs in the memory slots on the system board, then power on the system.
2. Replace the DIMMs one at a time to isolate the faulty module.
3. Replace 3rd-party memory with HP memory.
4. Replace the system board."
