XMP Profile 1 not stable on Kingston Fury Renegade 7200
As someone who has spent a lot of time overclocking DDR5 as of recently, speeds above ~7000MT/s are super difficult to get stable. 7200MT/s kits do have pretty good performance, but at the same time they are a ton of work to get stable, and just enabling XMP isn't really enough to get them to work a lot of the time.
Usually the issue that arises is memory controller instability. A good stress test that seems to pick up on those errors very well is Y-Cruncher's VST test, if the system is blue screening that frequently it should crash within the first test with the setup you've got. If you do want to try and get it stable at 7200MT/s, your best bet is to focus on that VST test. There are 3 main voltage settings that have a bit affect on the memory controller's stability: VDDQ TX, VDD2, and VCCSA. ASUS does call them different things in the BIOS (ASUS just has the tendency to do this for some reason), so you want to be looking for IIRC IVR Transmitter voltage, Memory Controller voltage, and System Agent voltage. All three of those voltage tend to sweet spot, and that sweet spot changes depending on the BIOS revision you're on, memory speed your at, and to some extent each other. You basically want to manipulate each one of those voltages until you start getting it stable, trying to keep IVR Transmitter and System Agent below 1.45V (though the sweet spot should happen below that mark), and I'd be trying to stay below 1.8V on the memory controller voltage (though again, you really shouldn't be getting anywhere near this for where the sweet spot should be). I don't really have any experience on ASUS boards, so I can't tell you what they like and what they don't for those voltage rails, though going off of screen shots I've seen something like 1.4V on IVR Transmitter and Memory controller with 1.3V for VCCSA should be about where each of those voltage sweet spots if you want a starting point (though again, this is dependent on a lot of factors, and even to some degree the exact board you got from the factory can behave differently from one to the next).
The other option is to just return the kit and go for a 6400MT/s rated kit, which realistically is what I'd be recommending. At this point they're both Hynix A die based, so in the event that you do want to run a 7200MT/s kit it should overclock to that point, and since a 7200MT/s rated kit is fast enough that you need to do manual voltage tuning anyway (the actual hard part of DDR5 tuning) I don't really see any downsides to it since you'll be saving money, getting a kit that's got an XMP that will actually work, and if you decide to put in the effort to tune the memory controller in the future you still can run 7200MT/s without much difficulty.
