Hi there @DREDDAVID,
May the Forums be with you! I understand that you have had a problem with a BIOS install. I am happy to give you a hand with this.
Try the methods in HP Desktop PCs - Recovering the BIOS. If there is no change then please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp, fill out the form, create a case for your issue and then use the provided information to contact HP.
Please let me know whether that works for you, and if it does resolve your issue, please mark this post as a solution. Kudos would also be appreciated.

Here is the information available from the support page for that motherboard: HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, Kinmen-U. It does not identify the jumpers or their function, so I would not touch them.
Since you had no luck with the BIOS Recovery, then as I previously recommended, please use the followinghttp://www.hp.com/contacthp, fill out the form, create a case for your issue and then use the provided information to contact HP.
