Do you shut your computer off at night? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't. A guy from the IT dept where I used to work told me that it's best to leave it on, but to reboot here and there. I was also given opposite advice, so who knows. I found an article on the subject from Microsoft.

I keep my computer on. I'm awake at night so I don't shut it down.

OH Nuts! · 06-25-2010, 02:34 PM

Mr. Television · 06-25-2010, 02:56 PM

Cactus Jack · 06-25-2010, 03:00 PM

Nope

robyrob · 06-25-2010, 04:07 PM

i usually always set them up to go into suspend mode - which is basically the same as off - but I only reboot or shut down when I need to.

The household computer I don't shut off much.

My laptop I shut off whenever I'm done using it.

I have a desktop Mac that stays on most of the time while I'm home. I usually turn off my laptop or netbook when I'm finished using it.

I've always been told NOT to leave it on all the time(24/7) that it's hard on the computer, and could eventually make it overheat

Courtnee · 06-25-2010, 11:48 PM

Not usually.

I use my laptop to watch stuff on Netflix before I go to sleep and it usually goes into power save mode after a short time.

treky · 06-26-2010, 01:22 AM

I leave mine on all the time.

Plus think of all the energy it wastes leaving it on 24/7

coffield3 · 06-26-2010, 12:13 PM
