[bigdawgfoxx]

[Lamsey]

The only time i ever turn my PC off is when I'm upgrading it. It has been known to run without rebooting for a month or so.

[BMD]

Aw...............hello!!!!!!!!!!

I only re-boot for XP Pro updates...............I've been 24/7 for 3 months,21 days,18.5 hrs.

KMD 2.4.4 24/7

[Money Fist]

that reminds me to tell u lot
never try to upgrade your PC while turned on

i tried to plug a DVD-ROM drive in then it was turned on
as i pluged the power in (big FLASH)
the ATX turned itself off

all was ok tho
:lol: :lol:

[muchspl2]

deerrr
I think I will work on eletronics while its pluged in

[BMD]

I gotta pee.........

[DWk]

yeps....only time it goes off is either installing a new device (hardware....which i never do lol) or flashing bios (which had to do 2 days ago....)

well the second doesnt constitute as turning off though :D

[RGX]

I have seen a pc that was left on for so long, and the motherboard got extremley hot, because the fan had stopped without the user realising it....so he wanted to install a new fan, which of course ment a shutdown, PC shutdown, mobo cracked in the middle from the heat change :|

Twas my brother, we laughed about it afterwards but bloody hell

[TheFilePirater]

i try to leave mine on all the time, but there is the occasinal restarts and errors

[clocker]

Well all you 24/7 folks sure would be welcome on the new KLF Folding Team.
Why not work for a good cause as you sleep?

[Robert00000]

I have two pc's - a COMPAQ 733 Celeron, which i leave on for about 10 hours a day, never tried 24 hours because i'm concerned the power adaptor on my cable modem will explode :lol: , because it gets quite hot. The Pc on the other hand doesnt even get warm and hardly makes any noise.

I would never leave my Athlon XP system on all day, partly because of the noise of the fan :helpsmile: , and partly because i have important business stuff on it, so need it to be reliable and so don't over-use it.

[camille]

I only used it for 5 to 6 hours coz I'm busy with my business. :D

Why would anybody want to do this? It doesn&#39;t make much sense to me to use my CPu to run this.

i want to keep my samsung drive for backup, but thats gonna be until i get my 120 or 160gig drive...and thats gonna be in a looooooong time :D

[h121589]

the longest i have left my xp home on wuz 2 days

[peat moss]

Whats wrong with useing the hibernate feature [ xp pro]

[DWk]

lol hibernate actually turns off your computer.... it just saves the computer settings, apps, or whatever you&#39;re running so that when u turn ur computer back on.... they are still there...

[peat moss]

Dwk sorry but is nt that the whole idea?

[DWk]

NO.... he is asking who leaves it on 24/7

i think i get what you&#39;re trying to say....however most of us leave the computer on 24/7 for downloads....and hibernate is OFF...so that wouldnt make much sense

[peat moss]

Oh sorry miss read the post i turn mine off everynite i just love a clean start like irish spring soap in the morn lol

[[B][O][T]]

Mine is up 24/7 and connected to the internet.
Only re-boot when windows ask for it. :ph34r:

BOT

[DWk]

lol....yea i know what you mean.... but my computer is just fine in the morning.... i can just go play games or anything after a "good night of &#39;workout&#39;" lol

but yea... a fresh start is like a good coffee :D

[backlash]

2 pcs 24/7..only shutdown to add shit or clean and only reboot for installations/updates/etc.

:):)

XP pro on both machines. AMD Athlon T-bird and a P4. One is loud but what can ya do...the other is so silent u don&#39;t even know it&#39;s on.
