Problem with laptop memory not functioning.
Problem with laptop memory not functioning.
You're wondering if the issue is due to the motherboard or CPU not supporting 2666Mhz. The fact that you're using a non-desk motherboard might affect memory management, but it doesn't necessarily prevent it from working. Since you can't adjust settings and still lack video output, the problem could lie elsewhere—possibly with the GPU or driver configuration.
I’m unsure if there’s a problem with your memory speed. It could be worth investigating further. It seems your CPU model is likely from an older generation, possibly around the 7th generation Intel line. The search results for the motherboard didn’t give a clear picture, which makes it hard to pinpoint the exact CPU type. Sometimes Intel reduces support for lower-end CPUs even if they’re available, especially in laptops. Modular design means manufacturers can make various adjustments, so your board might not match the memory speed you expect. There could also be quirks in the BIOS, and I’ve noticed some changes to Windows features in the past.
