    Do You Leave Your Comp Switched On 24/7 ??

    I've been leaving mine on the last few weeks, mostly because when it shuts down and starts up again, it seems to piss about, and not run too well.

    Been meaning to get a new comp the past 2 months.

    Running find though lately since i've been leaving it on all the time. Strange...

                  I keep the desktop on 24/7 but I turn the laptops off at night.

                      Yep, laptop goes into sleep/standyby mode if I'm going to be gone for more than a couple of hours, but I don't need to reboot.

                                                          I have one system that has been running for nearly 7 years straight.

                                                          I think it's been turned off twice.

                                                              I leave my computers on all the time. Mainly because I will pop in randomly after hours to check something, and then leave again. But I have them go to stand by.

                                                              One computer I reboot every few days. Other I can run for weeks, or months and never need to reboot it. Odd. Although I do manually clear things out and such.

I used to be a gamer, so I did that out of habit. Blow a few mobo's overclocking, and your learn the hard way.

Just make sure you have a well fanned case. A double fan and well vented case is best.
