If any of you read my previous thread, you will know my bios is messed up. Not recoverable. I am also running into problems with it not wanting to even power on. Not sure what to do. I guess ill buy a new Motherboard. I hope it will solve the problem... Any suggestions? I have no idea what I need

I don't know what went down in your previous thread and I'm not seeing any obvious way to find it, but:

If this is your HP then, the platform is too old. Intel stopped production of the 6x series chipset a long time ago it's nearly impossible to find new MB that can support your CPU.

This ASUS P8H61-I R2.0 is about the only one left.

And I believe you'd lose Wifi capabilities with that board since it only has one PCIe x16 that is meant for the graphic card (you can install the Wifi module into this slot if you accept that you're only going to be able to use the integrated graphics only or you can buy an USB based Wifi module instead if you want to use a discrete GPU).
