According to the troubleshooting guide for this model, the red light flashing five times indicates a problem in the RAM (memory), before the video subsystem is ready. You may just need to open the case and make sure the memory sticks are fully locked in their slots. If you just added new memory, it might not match the required specs. Blank screen and the power LED flashes Red five times, once every second, followed by a two second pause, and the computer beeps five times. (Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue flashing.) Cause Pre-video memory error. Solution 2. Replace DIMMs one at a time to isolate the faulty module. 3. Replace third-party memory with HP memory.
1. Reseat DIMMs. Power on the system.
4. Replace the system board.

Maybe I should have been more specific regarding which red lights I was speaking about. The front and side of the PC have decorative red lights. These are lights I would like to blink. Any help regarding these lights is appreciated. The manuals are poorly written. They don't even speak about these lights. Thanks
