Subject: How long do you leave you computer on

Some people have had theirs running since it came out of, only a few restarts or cleaning, and I mean like, 5 years nonstop not counting installations, and some people turn it off the moment they're not using it.

How long do you usually keep yours on at a time?

I've got a fan!

I have a program that shuts it off every night at 2:00am.

It's usually on while I'm home.

I have it set to sleep after 1 hour idle.

But I rarely shut it down; only when I'm leaving for a few days.

I turn it off when I'm not using it.

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

I keep it off when I can, but the girlfriend loves to leave it on for hours and hours even if she isn't home.

I leave it on ALL the time.

Only times I've turned it off (not counting restarts, installations, etc..) was when I went on vacation.

Well, you're Bill Gates. Everyone expects you to have your desktop on at all times.

Calculus calms my troubled mind

Mine's always turned off when I sleep or when I leave the house. I clean it every month or so with a hand vaccuum and an air can

I typically leave mine on about a week at a time. Sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. I just hibernate it and forget about it.

I turn it off every night.

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

I literally keep it on like all the time.

  • 01.04.2013 6:49 AM PDT

my laptop has been on for weeks, in the past: months. When I'm done using it, I close it and it goes to sleep. It's a lot faster than turning it on and off.

As for my desktop, I always turn it off when I know that I'm not going to use it for a while.

Country: United States.
State: Pennsylvania.
County: Warren.
I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

90% of the time it's on. Unlike the Xbox 360 I don't have to worry about it dying from the heat.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

When I'm not using it for short periods of time I generally leave it on. When I leave for 1-2 hours I'll just exit the programs I'm running, longer than that and I'll just turn it off.

When I go to sleep I turn it off. If I turned it on and went to go do something else, it will shutdown automatically after a few hours.

I'm an Indonesian Halo (and other games) gamer!
Bhineka Tunggal Ika!!

Turn it off if I need to sleep.

Unless I'm downloading something huge
