You can grab (and should) copies of the user and service manuals here: http://www.helpowl.com/manuals/HP/Dc7700/35297

The following is noted specifically in the service manual here:  http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00771619

Blinks: red 5 times @ 1 Hz 5 beeps = Pre-video memory error. Incompatible or incorrectly seated DIMM.

By this I would say you have some defective memory.

Reseat the RAM modules first. If more than one is installed try booting with one, then the other by themselves.

If that doesn't help get Memtest86 (it's free) from here https://www.memtest86.com/ and/or the Windows memory diagnostic from here http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp and run the tests.
