Jason S. Global Moderator Posted January 25, 2005 Global Moderator Share Posted January 25, 2005 yeah when you leave it on you give windows the chance to do tasks and mess around w/ the file system. i only turn mine off when im asleep and not doing anything w/ it.

Marduk Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I turn mine off because it's in my room and makes noise, and well I'm one of those ppl that can't sleep with that kinda constant noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echilon Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 It's on all day, but usually off at night, unless I'm downloading. Rebooting 6 times a day can't be good for your drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+chorpeac MVC Posted January 25, 2005 MVC Share Posted January 25, 2005 if I am away from the house for extended times, like during work or vacation, then it goes off. If I go outside for a while or something short-term, then I put it in standby/hibernate/whatever it is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vancity001 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 At home i always leave my laptop on (hibernating when its not in use. I only turn it off when transporting it to school and such) My PC however (also my server) never goes off, i think the last time i even restarted it was months ago.
