Hi, I bought the Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 RGB 32GB 5600MT/s (KF556C36BBEAK2-32). When trying to activate both Xmp and Expo, the PC starts initially but then the BIOS stops working after a few restarts, requiring a reset. I attempted to set Xmp to 5200 and it worked, but then a blue screen crash occurred. I also tried adjusting the voltage to 1.4v without any changes. It seems the components might not be compatible, so I’m considering updating the BIOS or switching them. My system runs a Ryzen 5 7600X with a Gigabyte X670 Gaming x ax and an Arctic liquid freezer II 280 A-rgb. Thank you.

When accessing BIOS to configure the RAM settings, it's possible to verify the current BIOS version installed on your motherboard. Additionally, you can identify which slots are connected to the board.

At the time of writing, it seems you have the the latest BIOS listed on Gigabyte's support site;
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X67...rt-dl-bios
and your sticks of ram are populating slots A2+B2 as suggested in the motherboard manual.
Can you input the frequency and timings that are advertised on the ram kit into BIOS manually? Try and clear the CMOS, removing the battery after disconnecting from the wall and display and then try again in BIOS. Check and see if any pins on your motherboard are bent or broken. While you reseat the cooler onto the processor, once tightened all the way, perform a 90 deg anti-clockwise turn for each screw(to relieve some stress on the mount), then enabling the ram profile(s) in BIOS helps.
Does that mean they are incompatible so I should either change them or wait for a bios update?
IMHO, if you can, return the ram kit and pick another one from the memory QVL listed on the motherboard's support site, even though oddly enough the ram kit you currently have is listed on the QVL. Being an early adopter means that you inadvertently end up being the guinea pig. You could wait for a BIOS update then again it might not be anytime soon that a BIOS version might come to release.
To point out, the BIOS version you're on is actually an alpha(if you follow through Greek alphabets) so a full version/proper release would be one without any alphabets at the end of the number.
