Do You Leave Your Comp Switched On 24/7 ?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Scott McD · 06-28-2006, 04:15 PM

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...

jrap · 06-28-2006, 04:16 PM

During the summer i turn it off at night..during the winter it helps heat the room

FrankWhite · 06-28-2006, 04:17 PM

since i got my computer its alway on, only reboot it once in a while here and there.

L-Pink · 06-28-2006, 04:24 PM

I turn mine off if I move, or thunderstorms are severe ...

Pornwolf · 06-28-2006, 04:26 PM

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

cadillacking · 06-28-2006, 04:29 PM

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.

LittleMack · 06-28-2006, 04:32 PM

I log off every night

Buzz · 06-28-2006, 04:41 PM

I shut it down 2-3 times a week to let it cool down

sweetgirl2006 · 06-28-2006, 04:51 PM

i shut it off every 2 day and let it keep cool...

The Heron · 06-28-2006, 04:54 PM

standby mode at night

Spunky · 06-28-2006, 05:00 PM

I switch it off after use

anne · 06-28-2006, 05:06 PM

Yea i shut mine on standby at nighttime too and reboot every few days.

Tdog · 06-28-2006, 05:13 PM

I leave mine on, I just let it go to standby

D · 06-28-2006, 05:14 PM

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

I think it's been turned off twice.

Barefootsies · 06-28-2006, 05:15 PM

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.

Damn, i guess mines should be ok for now then...

baddog · 06-28-2006, 05:19 PM

desktop is on 24/7 or I would never be able to download all the mail that would backup from being turned off. . . . . learned that the hard way

cool1 · 06-28-2006, 05:31 PM

I left mine on 24/7 for the last 3 yrs and only recently have had to shut it down every 5 days or so, so it can cool down.
I think the power suppy fan is shot. Maybe time replace it.

When i'am ready jerking i switch it off

baddog · 06-28-2006, 06:01 PM

I have a DVD burner sitting in my closet because I haven't had time to shut my pc off to install it

BIGTYMER · 06-28-2006, 06:04 PM

I keep two of my boxes on 24/7

Yngwie · 06-28-2006, 06:05 PM

mine is always on. The only time it's off is if I have to add a new part to it or reboot. Other than that it's always on. Even with my computer on all the time it never runs to hot.

sacX · 06-28-2006, 06:06 PM

leave it on 24/7 only turn if off if i'm going on holiday.

cliffom · 06-28-2006, 06:07 PM

My workstation is my laptop and it is only asleep when it is in my bag between work and home.

E$_manager · 06-28-2006, 06:07 PM

i am afraid that it will overheat. i switch it off at nights

fetishblog · 06-28-2006, 06:09 PM

I leave mine on all the time. It's connected to a 1500VA UPS, so it even stays on during the worst storms. Gives me about 5 hours of battery power to keep my shit up and running. =)

Vitasoy · 06-28-2006, 06:11 PM

My pcs are always on, I only switch off the monitor

By the same logic you should shut it off just when starting to work in the morning

Same here. I build my PC's, so I always include extra fans anyways. 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.

webcrawler · 06-28-2006, 06:23 PM

Nope, put it off after use.

Martin3 · 06-28-2006, 06:24 PM

Only shut down to swap hardware.

And if your pc is overheating at idle loads you got problems

mikeyddddd · 06-28-2006, 07:08 PM

Always. Reboot every week or two for a fresh start.

V_RocKs · 06-28-2006, 07:57 PM

My computers run 24/7/365... 2 run that way and another 2 run when I need them for something specific and the others are tied up running some kind of script. Or I don't want the others tied up...

gecko · 06-28-2006, 10:50 PM

Greg MissionD · 06-28-2006, 10:52 PM

The only time i shut down is when i'm travelling.

Waveu6410 · 06-28-2006, 10:56 PM

24/7 with a restart every once in a while.

jimb · 06-28-2006, 11:20 PM

biftek · 06-28-2006, 11:22 PM

24/7 , i use the theory that switching the pc on and off all the time does more damage due to the sudden surge of power flying through the machine
my pc is on 24/7 either uploading or downloading

OG LennyT · 06-28-2006, 11:22 PM

media pc stays on 24-7... others reboot a few times a month

Matiz · 06-28-2006, 11:32 PM

main machine is on 24/7

MakingCoin_Fatal · 06-28-2006, 11:36 PM

if im not working, i turn it off... ofcourse...

The Sultan Of Smut · 06-28-2006, 11:38 PM

Yup 24/7

butterflybucks · 06-28-2006, 11:45 PM

On 24/7 unless I leave for a lengthy period of time

Bro Media - BANNED FOR LIFE · 06-28-2006, 11:48 PM

only time mine is even remotely close to being shut down is restarting after installing/uninstalling shit

Ivana Fukalot · 06-28-2006, 11:52 PM

my computer is usually on, only when i leave house for few days i switch it off.

KRL · 06-28-2006, 11:58 PM

I've found its better to leave them running. Just make sure you have a well fanned case. A double fan and well vented case is best.

Turning it on and off everyday isn't good for the motherboard and components because you are surging electricity constantly instead of letting it run at a constant temp and flow.
