MSI dropped AGESA BIOS version 1.2.8.0 for some X870E and B850 boards like the MPG X870E Edge Ti WiFi, MPG X870E Carbon WiFi, and MAG B850M Mortar, claiming it fixes memory compatibility. At least one person on Chiphell said their X870E Carbon WiFi bricked after the update and kept crashing without even reaching the BIOS screen.
ASUS pulled their earlier 1804 BIOS and replaced it with 1805 because the previous 1.2.7.0 version apparently had problems. ASRock skipped 1.2.7.0 entirely and went straight to 1.2.8.0, which suggests AMD's middleware is kind of a mess right now.
Anyone running 800-series AM5 boards should probably hold off on updating for a few weeks until the community figures out what's broken.
