In ASRocks UEFI they should have something called Instant Flash (in advanced IIRC). Enter it and find your UEFI file on your drive and update.

 

If it's an actual .zip/.rar you can't unzip... try WinRAR or 7Zip.

you need to upzip the file you download from the Asrock website

 

the file should be a some configuration file similar to Asus .CAP file

 

you need to put the file directly on the root folder of a FAT or FAT32 formated thumbdrive

 

you cant use NTFS as the UEFI do not detect drives using NTFS

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
