Two possible scenarios. Either the computer will completely fail to boot with the excess RAM, or (more likely) it will throttle your RAM back to the mobo's maximum.
Either way, there shouldn't be any damage to the computer, but you can't bypass the motherboard's hard cap.

Correct.
The motherboard will refuse to recognize the extra 2GB.
