This is a link to HP where you can obtain a troubleshooting guide for that model and a lot more.
https://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/hp-compaq-dx6120-microtower-pc/456580/manuals
There is a link to troubleshooting in the manuals section. In that manual there is a section page 24 gives the result you have. Appears to be a heating issue so maybe your fan has failed.
Hope that helps.
