Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

I have a Lenovo L27q-10 27" monitor (default 60Hz) and an Asus K53SV laptop with Intel HD Graphics 3000. When I connect the monitor via HDMI, I get a strange resolution of 1920x1200 by default...

When I connected this monitor to my friend's laptop (Dell G3) this laptop immediately detected the native resolution of 2560x1440.

I tried using the CRU to set 2560x1440 resolution (60Hz at first) on my laptop, but I get a message about returning to 2560x1440@60Hz(eee?) or the message "Power Saving Mode".

The only thing I managed to do was to set it to 2560x1440@55Hz or 54Hz but the monitor sometimes disappears for a second.

Currently I am forced to use 1920x1080@76Hz with Automatic PC setting (using EDID.exe) - maximum for this resolution. Later I also set 76Hz for my laptop's matrix (using the second EDID), so now I have 76Hz on both the monitor (HDMI) and the laptop.

Is there any possibility to set the resolution to 1440p on this monitor connected to my laptop?

I will be grateful for any help!

Your laptop is so old that it probably doesn't support the pixel clock needed for 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz, but you can try a lower refresh rate like 50 Hz or 40 Hz. 55 Hz might still be too high if it's blacking out intermittently.
