Hello linkinworm,

Welcome to PCHF.

Does your laptop beep as normal when you first turn the laptop on? If you have no beeps, this generally means a problem with the CPU. Are you sure this CPU is compatible and working?

Well a good test is the fact it doesn't actually work in your PC! What make and model laptop do you have?

As far as I can tell, the 7086's maximum CPU speed is 1.4. Laptops are not very upgradable in the CPU department linkin.
