• How to replace a hard drive failed on Inspiron 660

  My hard drive Inspiron 660 is a failure.  I bought and installed a new drive more big of Amazon.  It helps Windows 8 recovery jump drive I did when I bought the computer, I can't reset the PC.  If I choose, 'Yes, repartition the disks' he says, 'there was a problem of reset your PC.  If I choose "no, keep existing partitions" I get "cannot reset your PC.  A required disk partition is missing. »

  I was hoping that I could use the recovery disc (USB key) to install 8 Windows on the new drive.

  Is it possible to install Windows 8 new hard disk?

  You must download the iso file of windows 8.1, burn to disk and boot the disk and do a custom installation. Recovery discs do not work on a new empty hard drive. Instructions and download here-

• Updating desktop Inspiron 660 s graphics

  I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 660 s running with 6 GB of memory, 1 to hard drive and Intel HD graphics. I want to improve my graphics in order to allow a better gaming experience. I would like to know if it is possible to improve the graphics and if I could come to this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IDG3NDY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

  I think I have a small Tower because it doesn't have a lot of empty space inside. Is it possible to have a card not in the Tower?

  The GTX 750 will not work.  Only low-profile cards will be suitable to the 660 s.  You also only a 220 Watt power supply.  I run the HD 6570 HERE in 660 s who does well enough with the games.  Even if you can still find them (overpriced) because they have been abandoned, the 7750 HD HERE worked in the 660 s and was the best card you could get.  The Sapphire is available only used on ebay, but other brands are still there.  The HD 6570 would be higher than your Intel HD graphics and for the price can be your best buy.  You cannot run the cards outside your Tower.

My teenage son tried to speed up the response time and has compounded the issues. Now my PC don't boot-go to top and I can't take back my pre-installed OS. I kept getting the DELL symbol then a black screen. I tried all the tactics that I found online... to nothing does not. Some being...

  First, Ctrl + F11 NOTHING

  F8 at startup NOTHING

  DVD of UEFI LEGACY change NOTHING

  CTRL + F11 NOTHING

  I ran diagnostics with all green ticks... that's a good sign. I can't start on any DVD or USB. I tried every DVD I own (I own all windows). How can I restore my PC to factory settings? Does anyone know the magic key? Thanks.Inspiron 660

• Card support FireWire on Inspiron 660

  I bought your desktop Inspiron 660 with Win 8 (original version, I think) a year or two ago.  Eventually want to use devices USB Audio (sampler Edirol UA-25, helmet DAC etc.) which are not supported by base 8 Win, the cheapest solution was to upgrade to a new version of Win 7 (I got a Dell version) with a new HDD in the desktop.   This arrangement works very well with all my USB audio devices.

  Then, I want to run an audio interface box 4-Channel M-Audio Firewire and Firewire PCI express card to receive from eBay.  It's a 1394, unbranded with chip WB381.  It appears in Device Manager - no reported problems. However the menu sounds in the Panel sees as an available playback or recording device, and the M-Audio box reports also no link.  I tried all three drivers available in Windows 7 for the card, as suggested elsewhere, without success.  M-audio box works OK with Win XP on another computer with a Firewire port that is provided by an OEM, but I don't have any other PC with ports PCI express to test the card...

  This is likely to be a problem of Dell software or a hardware/driver PCI problem.  Maybe I should get a card with a different chipset.  I note, there is a lot of posts related to problems with Firewire and Dell computers.  Are there tests I can run to determine what is happening.

  Thanks in advance

  Windows 8 and 8.1 firewire drivers are laminated.

  The only way to solve this problem is to use a card with Texas Instruments Chipset and copy the LEGACY drivers from a windows machine 7.

  Below are those with chips from Texas Instruments

  MASSCOOL 3 Firewire 1394 ports has 6-pin PCI Express card model PCE-F201 Newegg link link manufacturer Chipset: TI XIO2200A

• Inspiron 660 built-in sound

  This may sound stupid, but it's here.

  Since the beginning of January, I have an Inspiron 660, proc I5, 8 GB mem, 2 TB hd, Nvidia Gfore graphics, integrated 5.1 surround sound.

  I still have Sound Blaster 4.1 surround speakers. Green and black 3.5 mm Sockets.

  The pc has only pink (mic), green (speaker or headphone) and blue (line).

  Helpdesk told me only green jack is sufficient (right, left/right/for/in the back on two analog cables?) but I need new speakers.

  Question: How can I really connect the speakers to enjoy the sound surround announced?

  Hi Steffenwolt,

  Inspiron 660 doesn't have a sound card integrated 5.1. The system has 2.1 channel audio, therefore, 4.1 surround speakers would not work.

  Please answer for any clarification.

• Inspiron 660, power led?

  I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 660. The good news is that I have a very high quality HD camcorder.  The bad news is that it requires a FireWire port to connect with my computer. No problem, I thought. I got a PCI to provide one. It requires that a power cable be connected to make it work. I jumped to open the case expects to find the usual complement of lines of unused energy available for such use. In fact, there is nothing at all.

  The desktop computer Inspiron 660 doesn't have the old white PCI ports. There the new black locations of PCIe (PCI Express).

  

  Desktop Inspiron 660 PC =
  Three PCIe x 1 connectors
  A PCIe x 16 video card location

  PCIe cards should not require a power wire. You need to buy a FireWire PCIe x 1 card.

• 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.

• Radeon HD 7570 vs 7750 for Inspiron 660 s?

  I want to update my integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500 on my Inspiron 660 s, which has an I3-3240, 4 GB of RAM (which I intend to get 4 GB more), PSU 220w and Slim Case, a Radeon HD 7570 or 7750 which I just wanted to know which is safer to have with my diet and the profitability of this one. Thank you for your time and your response.

  None is validated and both use more power than a 6450 either kill your diet.  If you want to upgrade you must have obtained the mini lathe with minimum power 305 w.

• 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.

• Update drivers Inspiron 660 s Intel

  I had a failure of the update via Windows Update my Intel Driver. It kept failing. I went to the Intel Download Center, and he's looking for me. There is no new update listed under my Dell computer, than I already have. Apparently, he had two types of updates available for my computer at Intel chipset driver. Now, Intel found two drivers, I believe that he installed a. Another keep. This is the exe for WIN64_152822.exe and it fails every time. He said to close all programs. I thought I did. Although Carbonite will not let you go out just. I used the Task Manager to close a bunch of them. So I froze just Carbonite, because knock out would not work via the Task Manager. I couldn't leave my Eset Nod32 either, so I disabled it temporarily. I didn't stop all Intel running in fear, it would not continue with the update of the driver. Has anyone dealt with this issue?

  There is no need to update the graphics driver Intel unless one is located on the site of Dell and is recommended. Otherwise, leave well enough alone.  I only update of the dedicated graphics drivers for video cards.

• Graphics card for Inspiron 660 s

  Hi I do not know much about computers, but I have a Dell Inspiron 660 s and I want to upgrade the integrated video card. What video card will fit my diet better computer and power?

  7750 HD is very energy efficient.  He's going only to use about 50 watts of power when the games and a lot less when not.  In the comments of this card, those who bought used it on their 660 s Dell and doesn't seem to have problems.  The 7750 HD and HD 6570 will probably all have the same energy, but the 7750 HD is going to be much better for the games.  You would have to put down the way of things on the HD 6570 against the 7750.  Just do not overclock the card or you might have problems on such a small power supply.

  If you want to run at higher resolutions and settings to play with games today, I say forget the HD 6570.  However, even the 7750 HD won't all play on highest settings.  It's just that the 7750 HD is the best that you can possibly do for the system you have.  Office supplies Dell used to make more power in their slim cases.  I have a 275 watt in mine.  I would never buy a computer that had only a power SUPPLY 220 watt PSU if I had the game in mind.  My guess is that you would use probably around 175 total watts on the system depending on your CPU.  Obviously, the HD 6570 is half the cost of the 7750 HD so it depends on what you can live with and be happy.

  In conclusion, a 220 watt POWER supply is not plenty to run with the HD 7750, but others have run it on the 660 s so that's all I can say.  It's really up to you.  I give it a try if I was trying to play modern games?  Yes, I probably would.  But then again, I'm surprised by the games, people say that they can play with the HD 6570.  If your resolution is 1920 x 1080, then forget it in my opinion.  If your just running 1440 x 900 or 1280 x 1024, then you might be right.

• Inspiron 660: How to open the CD/DVD drawer to add a new program, or watch a movie?

  Inspiron 660.  How can I open the drawer to insert a disk in order to add a new program or watch a movie?  I just bought the machine and find operating instructions very careless.  There is no mechanical button to open the drawer. I can't find any instructions on the use of this machine in Dell.  Windows 8 tells me to insert the disc.  But how?

  The button is right next to the plate... Had to look a little myself.
