Hello Coldcreature22,
could you please remove the bios battery and test it with a multimeter (direct currect DC mode),
if there is ~ 3V present, if not replace it with a new battery (CR2025 or CR2032).
Take a look at this guide ( old but good )

Hello Coldcreature22,
Unfortunately you have landed in the wrong forum. Notebook questions are answered here, but I'll help you anyway...
The right forum for desktop pc is here:
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktops/ct-p/DesktopPC
In my personal and objective view, the update of this model is no longer supported by HP.
=> The following points out:
The specification of your system is here:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02619244
So the product number is: XH761EA
Release date: 31-Aug-2010 (very old system)
In the Section Motherboard for your MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E)
(broken link) https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02014355
Official HP Desktop Drivers and Software Site:
(not found) HP Pavilion Elite HPE-470uk
(found) HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500 Desktop PC series
best regards

It says bios error and it needs to be updated when booting up.
