Hi:

 

You do not have the latest BIOS revision installed.

 

There is a newer one on your PC's support page...version 8.19 dated Jul 2, 2014, under the W8.1 driver page.

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/HP-Pavilion-p7-Desktop-PC-series/5295962/...

 

Since you are running W10, I do not recommend that you update the BIOS unless you reinstall W8.1.

 

You don't get any do-overs if the BIOS update fails because you ran it on an unsupported operating system.
