Does your PC goes nite-nite or is a midnite owl? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do you turn your PC off at night or leave it running while you sleep? Just curious

Cashodeen · 07-08-2004, 05:48 PM

I click this sucker off.

No. It stays on all night. It does go on standby though when it's left alone for about 15 minutes. Basically a sleep mode. Cuts on after you move the mouse or touch the keyboard. We used to shut it down, but we had a problem back in the Spring where it wouldn't start up right and you would have to attempt 2 or 3 times to get it to work. Now it's fine, but we don't take any chances. We only shut it down if we have to(Windows Update, power outage or a vacation where we're gone for more than a day). So far, so good, no problems.

By the time I'm done using this thing its not even night anymore.

But when I do go to bed early, yes, I turn it off.

I turn it off, cause it's so old, it the monitor shuts it's self off, I think it has a short in it

But I'm on dialup anyways, so no point in me leaving it on all night anyways

My computer is a party animal. Last time it went to bed was a week ago, and before that, about 2 months.

haha Kinda sounds like mine. My AIM name usually says I've been online for about a week. LOL

It's a newer computer with lots of RAM, otherwise I'd probably shut it down at least every other night.

You shouldn't do that, you could wear it out sooner than you think.

I shut it off every couple of nights. If I don't reboot every few days, it acts sluggish and weird.

EmoJoe · 07-08-2004, 07:28 PM

I keep it on, but sometimes it turns itself off

Mijada · 07-08-2004, 07:30 PM

I always turn mine off.

consentida · 07-08-2004, 07:31 PM

I turn it off.

Dr. Jazz · 07-08-2004, 07:32 PM

Mine's on 24/7

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 07-08-2004, 07:39 PM

Mine's always on.
