This may have been asked before, but how long do you/can you leave a pc running untill you should shut it
down/rest it?
I keep mine on from 12 noon to 6 am the next morning, thats a 6hr rest period :wacko:
Maybe a mod could make this a poll?

Mine's been going 3 and a half days at the moment...
mine's been on for 'bout almost a week now. :D record uptime was 3 weeks. lol.
You shut your computer off? :huh:
just depends on how much im downloading, usually leave ma laptop on most the time overnight to download, its been on about a week the now, but if i aint downloadin i just turn it off.
I know someone who hasnt switched their computer off for a year lol.
I usually keep mine running for 3 days average, before restarting again and doing it all over again.
I restart it about every 2 weeks.
I turn it off evey 5-6 weeks (for a couple of hours) depending on what I'm downloading.
I reboot from time to time. I only shutdown my PC if I need to do some hardware maintence.
Jeeze... just think of your electricity bills!
Put your computer in Hibernation mode, that way, it barely generates any electricity.Quote:

Also, if you have CRT, just turn the monitor off, they can get really hot!
