we may need to clear the SMMSTORE ROM by flashing new firmware using a flash drive with a custom firmware update tool. Here are the steps to perform that action. After flashing, this will remove any custom EFI variables (such as those installed by boot managers). We have information on repairing the bootloader at the end of this article.

## Unzipping the Files

Depending on the decompression method you're using, you may need to perform an additional step. In some cases, the unzipped file is moved into a folder with the same name. For example, "oryx6-76ec.zip" becomes a directory called "oryx6-76ec" instead.

The mainboard will not know how to access the files inside the directory. The firmware flashing will not work in this case. Instead, move the files outside of the parent directory, delete the parent directory, and try booting again.

Once the system is put back together we may need to boot with a live image in order to repair the boot loader if you dual-boot with Windows 10. We provide step by step instructions on how to do this in our support articles in the links below:
