How long does your computer stay on?

Don't remember the last time I turned mine off. XD

My laptop is on 24/7. I restart it maybe once or twice a week.

 

[CubeBurn]

I just leave mine in sleep (standby). Sometimes if I get angry at the computer I'll just force shutdown (hold the power button in) and leave it alone. I reboot it if it goes crazy (USBs stop working, sluggish, etc)

My server computer is left running 24/7 - unless it has a power failure. (Storm, blackout, etc etc)

My shiny new MacBook ( 😀 ) is on for most of the day, everyday. Whether it be in the office, on the train or at home.

 

[MissTake]

Virtually 24/7 here too 😳

Funny, both my XP 64 system and main Debian server have been up for about 19 days now. Didn't realize I rebooted them around the same time (had to increase HugePages for E, replaced busted RAM on main machine).

Other Debian machine has been up 83 days. My XP Laptop has only been up for 3 days now.

Turn it on in the morning around 10am after visiting my old man across town for a cup of coffee. Turn it off around 2-3am after a full day of work, and then leave it on evening cause i usually forget to turn it off, and then actually turn it off at that 2-3am mark before i go to sleep. But I work @ home so there's a reason I leave it on all day.

So far my laptop has been on for just about a week now.....I should really turn it off at some point 😛

I now turn my pc off at night instead of running it 24/7.

9-10 hours daily i stay on computer.

 

[Kcmartz]

Never gets turned off, ever. 😛

 

[mancala1964]

It's 24/7. I do reboot it from time to time.

I barley ever shut mine down. It's porbably been months since I last did it. I Lock it or put it to sleep when I'm not using it, and Hibernate it when I put it away.

Once i get windows 7 instead of vista i might turn it off at nights but my pc takes like 10 minutes to turn on and i cant work out the problem, i have formatted my HD and then put everything on a external HD, hmm...

 

[USHost247]

It always stays on, I have 6 fans in my pc now, so it is about 45C all the time, so it's safe. 🙂

I keep mines on 24/7. I dont mind it breaking down as I've got 3 years warranty on it. 😛

 

[Hobbies230]

I turn mine on when I want to use it and turn it off when I'm done. >_>

Only takes like five seconds to boot up. (It's a laptop, just FYI.)

 

[tunescool]

i leave mine all day, i never turn it off

 

[THC]

Weekedays about 5-6 hours
Weekends it can be up to 12 hours

Funny. I never really payed much attention to it but now that you say something it probably isnt a good idea to leave my computer on all the time, if not for the life of the computer then for the energy costs lol

At least I restart it every couple weeks or so for updates and such, gives it a chance to refresh.
