I Am Worried About Leaving My Pc On

[Somebody1234]

My PC has been on for well over a year. I have restarted occasionally and have turned it off to change parts and such. As soon as the parts have been changed it's back on. So, I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. Just use it the way you want to.

the only way your PC is going to get damamged if it has no ventilation or you have no fans on the comp so it would over heat over time

Mine runs 27/7 and only gets turned off to add hardware or reboot due to installations.I have no problems with mine whatsoever. I have heard it is better to leave it on because startup is the heaviest load on your power supply,idling puts near no strain on on your PSU.

i leave my laptop on if im downloading something, or just leave it uploading, but its mainly on 24/7

Wow! What planet do you live on.27 hours per day? What type or internet connection do you have? Satallite? Sometimes I would like to have an extra 3 hours.

Btw, is that why you have 27 in your name johnboy27 ?

3 hours ? Why not 3 seconds ? Just imagine what you could do if you had 3 seconds per day that no-one else had.

Make sure that your monitor goes into power-save mode.

Actually the "27" in my nick was actually my age when I signed up here.
