It's entirely possible that your motherboard simply does not support the 3rd gen Intel processors, even with the latest BIOS update (if one exists). Since HP does not provide anything in regards to a BIOS update, it's also entirely possible that attempting to update it from a third party could render your system useless.
Since the System Specifications does not list the motherboard model number, you will need to take the cover off of the system (after proper shutdown and power disconnect) and look for a model number on the motherboard itself. You may be required to remove any expansion cards in order to see if a model number is printed on the board.
With the motherboard model number, you should be able to locate, on the motherboard manufacturer's web site support page, if there are any BIOS updates that specifically refer to 3rd Gen CPU Support. If so, you can TRY and update the BIOS (with the above warning in mind).

a BIOS update would be too risky to do on a computer that old especially if you don't know what you are doing. brand name computers are not upgrade friendly like that. also from your computer specs it does not list any 3rd gen CPU's for that computer so you are out of luck
