Here is the support page for that series desktop.  As you can see, when you go to check out the specifications, there are many models in that line.  For exact help the model number needs to be given, but for a sample the model I checked was this

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-hpe-h8-1100-desktop-pc-series/5146418/document/c030...

 

It shows a IPISB-CU (Carmel2) motherboard, which has a known problem just as described in your post.  The BIOS in the 8.** range was not issued

Here is a similar thread with the acceptable graphics cards
