Sorry that file didn't work.
That was the only file I could find and this was the description:
It's version 5.12, not 5.14. and I checked the file contents and it shows a 5.12 BIOS file.
BIOS for HP Compaq Presario SR5010NX
945GCT-HM Motherboard BIOS update adds microcode update for Intel processors to resolve system stability issues, blue screen issues, and Send/Don't Send error messages.
Unfortunately, I could not find any other BIOS versions, and I don't recommend trying to force that one to work.
