Hp 8000 Elite Beeps 4 Times On Startup.

This only occurs when the PC's power button is held in for 5 seconds and forced to shut down. The Beeps are 4 & high pitched, stop for 2 seconds and sound out another 4 beeps until the power button is pressed again and the PC starts up normally. replaced memory DDR3, 2 gig stick with another, intrusion alarm disabled. Kept clean and in near new condition. Doesnt occur if you start - shutdown, restart when in Wiindows but only when forced to shutdown.

4 beeps denote a power supply overload.  2 beeps denote a processor thermal shutdown.  They are not normally seen together.  See the service reference guide for details:

http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01960471

The beeps codes are accompanied by error codes.  The codes are listed in the guide.

If you're forcing Windows to shutdown I would suggest a corrupted copy of Windows rather than a hardware issue.  Try a reinstall.
