Keep in mind that if you replace the Dell OEM CPU fan, you're probably going to get a Fan Failure message at every boot because the Dell fan has a sensor in it that has to be detected by BIOS. You can still press F1 to continue booting, but that can get 'old' and annoying fast...

I know this is an old thread but I felt I could help prevent a lot of grief for some folks out there by sharing this story regarding the error message upon startup that reads "Alert! Front Panel not detected, press F1 to continue, F2 for Setup" or similar.

Dell doesn't publish front panel pinouts so unless you're prepared to map them yourself, or somebody is willing to share that info, you may not be able to move into any new case, Dell OEM or otherwise.

I removed the *** Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 and replaced it with the Nvidia one that came with a no longer functioning Optiplex 380. I was then able to enter the BIOS, correct the boot drive sequence and now ESX is installing.

I presume you'll have 4x2 GB. So you'll have to decide whether to keep 2x2 GB of existing 8 GB and add 2x8 GB to 2 matching slots, or chuck all 8 GB and replace with 4x8GB.

It is a Dell Inspiron 660, running win. 7. The drive I used I downloaded the windows 7 to it. On computer it is shown. I have my old xp hooked up to do downloads. But may not have down loaded the tools properly because I xp they say I need to download two others to be successful.

You can accomplish quite a bit of de-cluttering by coiling and shoving the excess cable length into the space between the optical drives and the Hard Drives. I think that's an "Optional" space intended for a floppy or something. If you think about air-flow, though...

@Wowser. I'm glad I could make you laugh. Seems like you might need a little stress relief. If you don't believe you'll see the BIOS update, head over to PC part picker, build a system, sell yours on eBay and move on with your life. The only reason I'm watching closely is it might enable a last

The router is in a another room. Pretty much, the router and the Inspiron desktop are near each other, but they're separated by a wall. I could move the desktop to the room that the router is in, but it's going to take some work since I have to carry everything there.

But... If you can wait and can afford a $350 Graphics card, I would wait and see if the BIOS update arrives in the next week or so and enables a GTX 970. The 970 is a much better card with twice the V-RAM and will be more future proof than a GTX 770.

This is unrelated to the internet, but: earlier today my computer got the 'CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED' blue screen. I couldn't do anything else but restore the computer to its factory settings. I don't understand why this happened.

Hi, I have a Dell Optiplex 790 D03s i5-3.1ghz 4GB PC and I am looking to upgrade the Graphics card to play some older games (TF2, Starcraft 2, Diablo3) The Owners manual states that the PCIe bus is limited to 35w and the case is SFF. This severely limits my options to Low-profile Low-power cards.
