Dell Inspiron 660 bad memory

Dell Inspiron 660 has a slot of bad memory. It has two slots 4 GB in each slot, 8GB total. Only 4 GB show. I removed the ram and switched around and tried one in each location. My side slot on the left does not. Is this a common problem? It is expensive to replace the mother board? All the other fixes for this? I can put a 8 GB in a slot should I buy one?

Thanks for all the answers to my questions frustrated! Debra

II BIOS sees only 4 GB and any crack each RAM module is in it, then it looks like a motherboard failure.

According to the specifications, 660 modules only supports 2 and 4 GB of RAM with a max of 8 GB total installed. So none is not a module of 8 GB.

Several Inspiron 660 cards mothers available here and on the next pages of this site. And I guess there is always the eBay group own Dell spare parts.

Only you can decide how much you want to spend fixing it. And always ask if a replacement motherboard is new, used, refurbished and warranty.

  • This PSU and GPU will work with my dell inspiron 660?

    Hello

    I got my dell inspiron 660 earlier (2 years ago) and was thinking of upgrading the PSU and GPU (I'm not a big PC gamer so cheap products, I chose will be much used) anyone of you could tell me if it would be compatible with my inspiron and between them. And if not could you tell me some compatible CPU and GPU, my spending limit is £90.

    GPU - Asus GeForce GT 610

    PSU - power supply 600W Sumvision power X 3

    Thanks in advance,

    I think that the 660 has a 300W power supply.  What is the Min requirements for the GT 610?  I think you could slamming in there without having to upgrade the power supply at all.

  • Dell Inspiron 660 AMD Radeon HD 7800 series BSOD

    Recently, I have put my Dell Inspiron 660 with a new graphics card, an AMD Radeon HD 7800. At the same time, I improved the power source to a Corsair Builder Series CXM modular 80 PLUS Bronze certified ATX/EPS power supply 500W.

    I installed the card, update drivers and disabled the integrated graphics card. I tried to disable the onboard graphics via BIOS but there is no option to disable it in the BIOS, the AMD Radeon also is not running in the BIOS. If I uninstall the onboard graphics, the computer just re - installs on reboot.

    The card works for everyday tasks, but whenever I try to launch a game, it works fine without any problems for a few minutes and then crash with a BSOD. Then, the computer restarts and is as usual.

    The Inspiron 660 comes with the processor intel core i3-2130, 4 GB Ram and a 64-bit operating system.

    Any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Then, you need to get a more expensive food.

  • How can I put an SSD inside a Dell Inspiron 660?

    First of all, I want to express how much I love your computers, Dell. You guys ROCK! Best brand of computer I've ever bought. On the subject; I have a desktop PC Dell Inspiron 660 with a 1 TB hard drive. I want to spend the hard drive for an SSD, but I looked inside your case and the hard drive has 2 rails metal (one on each side). That being said; How to fit an SSD in there? I know I need an adapter of sorts that it will allow to get into that, but how I'd cela in view of the way in which the hard disk is set up? I'm so confused! Thanks for your time.

    You install the drive in a silverstone adapter then put the rails on it.

  • Update the Dell Inspiron 660 graphics card

    I had my Dell Inspiron 660 for a little over a year and am now looking to upgrade the graphics card. It's pretty close to it, but mine works on Windows 7:

    In my opinion, he has a power supply 300 watt, 8 GB of ram, integrated Intel HD graphics card and is the complete Office Tower (not mini). I'm tired of playing games on low heat and would like a card that can handle parameters of medium-high on the games. I could upgrade food if necessary, but would like to keep all of the budget under $ 200. I heard the AMD Radeon 7750 may work with a 300 Watt power supply, but I don't want to take the risk of harming the computer. One of these cards would be suitable for my current setup:

    http://www.Amazon.com/XFX-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-FX775...

    or

    http://www.Amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-1024MB-graphics-01G-...

    Or do I have to switch to a diet that is higher (like this one), and then that the cards would be good under $150?

    http://www.Amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-series-Watt-CX500...

    You can use the 650 GTX because it requires a power supply cable 6 pin that does not have 300 watt POWER supply.  The only one that works is the 7750 HD because it does not require any additional power cling. Your best bet for the game would be to upgrade your power supply.  With the upgrade of the PSU, I will seek to obtain the R7 X 260 HERE.  This is the best you can do for less than $150.

  • Dell Inspiron 11 3162 Memory Upgrade

    Bought a 3162 11 February 2016, only has 2 GB of RAM, my bad, bought a 4 GB of Dell card. Remove the cover and battery, can't see any remotely close to what they sent me. Any suggestions?

    There are two different versions of this model - it comes with a hard drive and has a support memory that will take up to a 4G soDIMM.

    Yours is the 2G version which comes with a built-in solid state (MEM) drive - one comes with 2G of RAM and has no support from the memory (memory is soldered to the motherboard and there is no way to upgrade).

    One who recommended the memory module that you have bought or didn't know that none of the details of your system, but one way or the other you are stuck with 2G.

  • Dell Inspiron 660 card reader (Realtek 2.0) has stopped working

    I uninstalled the card reader and let Windows install the new drivers. That did not work, so I downloaded the latest driver from Realtek site direct and tried to install it. That did not work or so I looked in the event viewer and noticed: "device not migrated. My OS is Win 10. See the screenshot below:

    I stuck a screenshot, but it does not publish. Read: deleted device, device install requested, not migrated device, device added Service (RTSUER) and design installed (rtsuerext.inf)

    Look in to the card reader device manager. If it does not appear, right-click and then uninstall it. Win 10 installation of Dell driver for the Realtek card reader in 660, then restart.

  • An XFX Radeon 7850 will work on my Dell Inspiron 660?

    It is not the slim version. "The size of the graphics card are 7.8"x 4.4"x 1.5"
    I noticed that the hard drive uses space and limit to how long something in the PCI slot can be, but I did some steps and 7.8 length must adapt. However memory modules are worrying me. will they get in the way of the graphics card as they are really close to the end of the PCI-E slot? I already know to pass the power supply, so I have a Corsair CX 750. In addition, the graphics card will work on the PCI-E to inspire x 16 slot if the interface of gpu said PCI-E 3.0 x 16?

    Hi crayolaboy18,

    Thanks for the photos and links. They were very helpful.

    Modules of memory will not impede the map, so you can go ahead and get the upgrade. Its good that you upgrade the PSU too. Here take a look at the photo below, the graphic card XFX begins to protrude out of the base, which means that the body of the bulges of the slot card Express for PCI card locations. Thus, he will not come in the way of the memory modules.

    The red highlighted area above is taken by the card. And the answer to your PCI express 3.0 application is in the image below:

    I hope this helps.
