When an HP 6700 fails to start you will usually receive a series of beeps known as BIOS beep codes.  These beeps will have a specific pattern that will give you an insight in the possible cause of the failure.

HP 6700 Beep Codes

The following HP 6700 beep codes are also common to many other HP desktops.  Not all codes are listed.

·         1 short beep and 1 long beep is usually an indication of a memory problem.  Check RAM to confirm securely in place.  Replace RAM if necessary.

·         2 short beeps and 1 long beep (repeats 5 times) is usually an indication that the system was unable to initialize the video and / or the video card is not installed.   If video card is built into the motherboard install a separate video card.

·         3 short beeps and 1 long beep is usually an indication of a CPU configuration error.  Confirm the settings in your BIOS match that of your bios.  If you have your system over-clocked, restore it back to its original configuration.

Common HP 6700 Beep Codes that can occur while restoring, flashing, or upgrading the BIOS

·         1 short beep usually indicates a legacy floppy drive or CD/DVD driver was not detected.

·         2 short beeps usually indicate a floppy diskette or compact disc was not detected.

·         3 short beeps usually indicate a possible missing utility or BIOS image.  The system was unable to start flashing.

·         4 short beeps usually indicate a failed flash attempt.  Possible checksum error or corrupted image.

·         5 short beeps usually indicate the BIOS has been successfully recovered.

These are some of the common HP 6700 beep codes.  Depending on your version and BIOS manufacture there are other codes that you may encounter.   Refer to HP Support for additional beep code information.
