Welcome to the joys of proprietary components. When HP ordered these motherboards from the manufacturer, they probably stated, there is no need for a PCI-E slot since the motherboard has on-board video and had them not include the slot to reduce costs.

You can see, in the image, where the PCI-E slot should have been and Everest is reading that the motherboard should have a PCI-E slot, but thanks to HP, you do not.
