Do you turn your computer off or is it on 24/7? - GoFuckYourself.com

mrthumbs · 12-14-2005, 09:27 PM

Another relevent question by MrThumbs.

I always leave my computer on 24/7/365. matter of fact there are at least 4 systems running nonstop in this house.

I found they last longer for some reason but not enough years experience
to make a hardcore study out of that. Just the people that use the switch daily have powersupply and HD issues a thing ive hardly experienced.

Anyway.. going to bed in a few.. bad flu.. ill leave the system on.

btw: i have a sony VAIO laptop thats been on 24/7 for 9 months or so (i use it to monitor my cams) and although the bitch is hotter than my heating it still works.

chadglni · 12-14-2005, 09:28 PM

Martin · 12-14-2005, 09:29 PM

Baker Rd · 12-14-2005, 09:51 PM

it's not 1996 and I don't have an IBM 386. no need to run non-stop.

shut down every night

Sosa · 12-14-2005, 10:04 PM

BigCashCrew · 12-14-2005, 10:06 PM

I always keep my computers on 24/7. When I feel bad for them I'll do a reboot.

Paraskass · 12-14-2005, 10:32 PM

amandaspost · 12-14-2005, 10:54 PM

RogerV · 12-14-2005, 10:56 PM

everytime you turn it on and off you tax the system.

kinda like when you first start a car its not good because its hard on it till it gets the lube flowing thru it

RevSand · 12-14-2005, 10:57 PM

Mine is always on.. I reboot about once a week or every other week... I have my monitors and printer on a switch that i turn off at night tho..

Marshal · 12-14-2005, 10:59 PM

Spunky · 12-14-2005, 11:00 PM

if you set your energy saving settings correctly it really doesn't take much energy at all....

High Quality · 12-15-2005, 12:41 AM

Always on.

Boot up = bad for hard drive = eventual crash = bad news.

Plus, 24/7 no wait time and it helps heat my house as I run cancer research 24/7.

Violetta · 12-15-2005, 12:42 AM

I turn it off every night!

eroswebmaster · 12-15-2005, 12:43 AM

I used to leave it on 24/7 until I bought a tornado fan...good god I guarantee you after 9 months with this new system and the tornado fan I've lost more of my hearing...thing is just sooo fucking loud.

quiet · 12-15-2005, 12:44 AM

only one laptop these days, but it is always on. i turn it off... never. it goes to sleep if i'm traveling, but is never shut off. ever.

BIGTYMER · 12-15-2005, 01:15 AM

Most of my systems are on 24/7.

reed_4 · 12-15-2005, 01:20 AM

I find it crazy to leave my tv on 24/7 when there is no one to watch it.

gecko · 12-15-2005, 01:31 AM
