The BIOS problem is caused by the fact that you're running Windows 10, but the BIOS update program (which is OS dependent) is written for Windows Vista/Windows 7, hence doesn't run properly on Windows 10 --- so the BIOS update doesn't actually happen -- it just stays at the same version.

Since Windows 10 is not officially supported on the HP Pavilion p6-2143w, you were unwise to install it. If you revert to Windows 7 the BIOS update should work. I'm not aware of any other way to fix that issue.
