Up And Running!

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
Maybe a mod could make this a poll?

You shut your computer off?

[Livy]

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.

[sim one]

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.

Put your computer in Hibernation mode, that way, it barely generates any electricity.

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