To find the exact support page the that PC requires the complete model number.  For example HP Pavilion HPE h8-1234

That particular model has the M3970AM-HP (Angelica2)

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03353629

That particular model started selling 25-May-2012.  One thing you need to keep in mind is OEM PC's are meant to work as sold.  If  there is a problem with the setup or the hardware wrongly performing for some reason, a BIOS update would be issued.  If everything worked properly as sold and no problems popup then no updates are issued.  This is unlike retail makers that issue BIOS updates for newer hardware or CPU's that came out after the manufacturing date.

 

In other words, do not be upset with no BIOS updates, as it is preforming as designed.

 

P.S. I see you posted the model number as I was researching and  posting.  Same motherboard as I listed and no BIOS updates.
