Hi:

 

HP retired support for that model series since it is more than 10 years old.

 

Below is the link to the parts list for your PC:

 

HP PartSurfer

 

The motherboard part number and description is:

 

656846-002
Motherboard - Carmel-2, Intel H61, 95W VRM

 

This person provides the processor upgrade specs for the motherboard your PC as according to the parts list.

 

HP Pavilion P6 H61 Motherboard Carmel2 656846-002 Pegatron IPISB-CU REV 2.00 + - The620Guy.com

 

This discussion indicates the person installed the i7-2600 which is apparently the best processor supported.

 

CPU upgrade on the Carmel2 IPISB-CU - HP Support Community - 7196360

 

The only place that I know of where you will find the last BIOS update HP released for that motherboard is from this reputable 3rd party driver website.
