I've been leaving my laptop on all night the past couple of days to finish downloading and earn a few cents via Gomez. So my question is, how long does your computer usually go without a restart? Do you have a record number of hours?
 
When I had my old windows PC it would stay on for weeks at a time. Unless I'm downloading or s******, I put it on sleep or turn it off.
 
On a week day it's on for maybe 5-6 hours, weekend though it's on a long time, easily past 12 hours. I keep it on all night sometimes if I'm downloading a rather large download.
 
I have my computer on whenever I use it, I just don't leave it on for the rest of the day. This means it's probably on for about 5-8 hours a day.
 
4-5 hrs. I just hibernate my PC these days when I am not using it. I have one PC I use as a online radio broadcaster and it is on 24/7.
 
I just turn mine on when i want to use it. If i am going away for a little while, i will put it in sleep mode.
 
24 hours, 7 days a week. My record of a PC being on for one period of time was prob 1 year and 3 months, or around that. They were the good days. 🙂
 
Windows 7 only takes for me about 10 seconds to turn on and log on so I just turn of my laptop when I am finished with it.
 
My computer takes about 1 minute to fully boot from shutdown. Most of the time, it just goes on automatic sleep.

Are you using it as a server?

My PC is on from 4PM to 12PM, so 8 hours, but sometimes, its on from 9AM to 1AM (the next day).
 
There are four computers in my house, and they are very rarely turned off.
 
When I use it is on, when not it is off.
So probably on weekend's ten hour's, and school day's 4 - 5 hours.

I never leave my laptop on overnight. Just never have.

I get on, do what I have to do, and shut down.
