@Scottperkins, welcome to the forum.
The problem that you are experiencing is caused by the fact that the GTX 970 requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS. HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012. The BIOS can't be upgraded to UEFI. The last cards not to require UEFI were the GTX 660/670's.
The GTX 750Ti requires UEFI, also.
