Longest time your computer has been on

[-0MEGA-] · 11-07-2005, 02:27 AM

I'm just wondering what the records are for how long you've kept your computer on without restarting or hibernating. Only PC's please, not servers or anything like that, just your regular gaming or w/e computer.

My Record so far is 5 Days, 14 hours, 21 Minutes and counting

Probably months with my old machine... New one, probably about 15 hours or so, and that was just recnetly. I don't like to leave my computers on anymore. Wears out the hardware faster and causes heat. I mean some of the fans in my new comp are already making noises...but they were cheap HD coolers

last time mine was rest was 2 months ago when I updated my drivers. Longest I've been was 6 months or so. I've had file servers that were turned off once within a 1 year period.

ONLY like 1 month... My dad goes on business trips and i stay at my moms and I forgot to turn off my comp.

Almost at a year (2 more months) for my server at home (not including windows update restarts at the beginning).

wow, thats a long time to keep your comps on.

And to "the_Other_One", i dont mind it creating heat in the winter since it just makes my room warmer then the rest of the house

And my PC is up to: 6 Days, 0 Hours, 16 Minutes
