I have a new build with a Ryzen 7800x3d with G.Skill Flare X5 (32GB, DDR5-6000, CL30-38-38-96) with PBO and Expo enabled. (Manually lowered CPU SoC for safety)
After I ran into fan issues I downgraded to Bios v133 and everything is running smooth now, did several stress test and benchmarks.

However, the last two days, I ran into the issue that when I start the PC up the EZ Debug LED for CPU & Ram will show and the PC will not boot, but when I shut down and start again it will boot normal. (I think I had this happen 3 times out of serveral reboots and startups (still installing stuff)).
Are there any known issues with the firmware version v133 of failed start test? (I used the forum search function but couldn't find anything)
I obviously already checked all plugs and connections on the mainboard and the power supply, it's all good.
Thanks

It seems to be ram related.
Couple of things to try:
1. Disable Memory Context Restore, instead of "AUTO".
2. Disable EXPO.

Well it could be, but since posting this I probably did 5 reboots and I did not run into the problem.
As I said it is random, and I was actually wondering if there are any known bugs of this since it's a beta bios.

Ok, well it appears other people are having the same issue.
I noticed now that this only occures on the initial boot, like others have described in the x670e ace bios problem thread.

Since testmem5 (extreme profil) and memtest86 finished with no errors and gaming in VR for hours has not caused any issues, I assume my Ram is working correctly and will for now simple ignore this and wait and see if a new bios version might fix it.

Yep about sums it up BIOS need much work for RAM compatibility apart from that Bios over all has actually gotten a bit better

Once you get a BIOS config that works and is stable system will run for hours under the Mem test and Stress test Games run well.

Since running BIOS Version 7E12v13 that has been released recently I have not experienced any boot issues.
It has however only been two days I think.

By the way, a Changelog would be nice, as this is not a Beta version anymore.

I've had weird boot issues with my MAG-B650-TOMAHAWK since day one (boot LED and/or CPU/RAM LED errors) with my G.Skill Flare C36. Computer is running stable once in Windows (stress test, gaming, etc). I'm at the most recent beta BIOS. I just upgraded to G.Skill Trident Z5 6000 CL32-38-38-96 F5-6000J3238F16GX2-TZ5NR. Has been pretty rock solid so.. I think Samsung RAM has more stability issues then Hynix with EXPO.
