what your asking can not be done. You may be able to find a Blackbird BIOS (google it) for it, but I would expect that you could easily.
OEMs (hp, dell and the like) are not built to overclock. They have crappy PSUs, subpar cooling systems (I had an HP desktop that would overheat on the hour because of poor case design), and locked BIOS.
You could probably get a new motherboard, case and PSU, and reuse your CPU, GPU (if you have one), RAM, HDD, and DVD drive. That will be the easiest, and safest way to overclock your system.

As stated above, I wouldn't even bother trying to upgrade the BIOS on that machine. It's not made to OC. and is most likely gonna overheat.
According to the specs it only has a 460W power supply and most likely many other low end parts that will not handle any tweaking.
But, to answer your question..

If you do something wrong while updating the BIOS,you are screwed.
Plus you can burn the CPU if you overreact with overclocking and if that happens to you,your processor is HISTORY! It's not worth it believe me.If games run slow,try using one of the follwoing programs:
-MemTurbo
-MzCPU accelerator
These programs will concetrate all the CPU power on the currently active application in order to make it run faster.MemTurbo even has an ability to take RAM from other unused programs and add it to your active program to make it run even better.
Games such as Doom 3 will run a LOT better with MemTurbo.Just be sure that you configure the settings properly otherwise it won't work properly lol.

To be totally honest, overclocking manufactured PCs is a total waste of time. Besides the fact they are built by the lowest bidder, the hardware is simply not designed to handle anything more than exactly what it was out of the box.
If you want to overclock, first try it on an older computer that it's ok to destroy. Then, build your own machine to the specs you desire and overclock it if you must. Personally, I've never had the need to overclock a PC. If you select your parts correctly and intelligently, you can get a lot of power from stock parts!
