i use sleep mode o.o takes 3 seconds to reopen with a ssd.

For my old desktop, I'd usually just leave it on because its gonna be used by many of my family members. As for my Macbook Pro, I shut that shit down when I'm not touching it for hours cuz the standby drains battery like shit. Otherwise I practically never shut it down for days.

I just sleep it and restart it if I notice it's running slow(er than usual since it's a craptop with Vista)

Vista is the worsest OS after me/2000 in my days of using Windows XD.

Maybe i consider to let my pc on when i turned it on in the morning and turn it off at the night except when i download something.

**Zageron** · 06-15-2012, 12:16 PM

On, 24/7 with restarts frequently to do updates and the like.
This is my current OS instance. Next instance is due for an installation but I'm trying to stretch it as long as possible, and may just keep it until a major messup.

yeah I agree. My video card is too new for XP but can't run Windows 7 either so I'm pretty much stuck unless I actually put money into my computer which ain't happening

I'm pretty sure any video card requirements are just for running Windows Aero which Microsoft for some reason is so apeshit retarded that their "minimum requirements" includes the running of Windows Aero. Windows 7 can be pretty lightweight if you make it so.

Funny story (actually not funny at all): After raid last night, my guild leader got a phone call from her boyfriend about his computer exploding due to a bad power supply. Apparently he keeps his PC on all the time, and it ran super hot. Shrapnel flew past his face and wrecked his wall, and his desk caught on fire.

Fortunately he's fine otherwise. If you plan on leaving your shit on for extended periods of time, don't build a computer with cheap parts !!

**25thhour** · 06-17-2012, 02:14 PM

I never turn off my computer and whenever it tries to do Automatic Updates, I just hit "Postpone for 4 hours" every 4 hours. My laptop only turns off when it dies.

My first lesson of Hardware 101 was almost literally some Russian dude yelling "NEVER CHEAP OUT ON THE POWER SUPPLY" over and over and over again.

My uptime is only 2 hours 16 minutes. :( I guess I shut down my comp a lot.

You are not the only one :P. I turn my pc off every day :P.

**rushyrulz** · 06-18-2012, 09:46 AM

I don't shut off every night, but I restart for updates and shit.

None that required any downtime or restarts. This is from a Medical Records Database I built for a client. 20+ clients log in through RDP (Remote Desktop) I built the system, Deployed the OS, and configured RDP. I did not set up the database :3

**Reincarnate** · 06-18-2012, 07:10 PM

never skimp on the power supply and like 80% of your problems will go away

**wargasm1** · 06-18-2012, 10:08 PM

i let my pc on but it has a power saving mode to it so after 30 minutes its 90% off, until i touch anything then its 100% on again.

I leave my desktop on until my room gets to like 147 degrees, but during the winter it never goes off. My laptop I hibernate every night though~ rarely ever fully shut it down.
