Okay, I've searched and asked around on this issue but can't seem to come up with an answer.
I have an Intel NUC NUC5CPYH that was given to me because the organization that had it said they could never get it to boot.
I tested a few different configurations, was able to get it going... but with a 2GB Kingston DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500).
Everything I'm reading says that you're only supposed to use DDR3L chips in this device, so I got my hands on some. Kingston brand, Micron brand, don't have them all in front of me but I saw they corresponded with this document:

And any time I try booting with one of these Intel Validated RAM chips, I get nothing but a black screen. What am I doing wrong? Has the unit been ruined by using a DDR3 chip in it?
If only I could get more RAM running in this unit it would make a fine backup machine for me.
Thanks for any input.
