Here's the computer: http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-8700/pd

After installing it, nothing happened. I tried installing it in a different computer. It worked fine. What should I do?

I found this video but Idk if it will help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crvktuyBmyA

How about some component information.... PSU size ?

Did you uninstall drivers, remove the 660 and install the 970 and then reinstall drivers ?

I didn't install any drivers. I removed my previous gpu after installing the new 970. I have a 460 watt PSU. But I tested the 970 using a 500 watt PSU. Didn't work.

make sure you connect monitor to GPU and all power cables connected to GPU.

I have read before that Dell & HP have been known to restrict what GPU's can be installed in their PC's with the BIOS, if the GPU is not on a predefined list held in the BIOS it wont work. I think you need to contact Dell
