Hello Everyone,

This post may seem odd but if your reading it i would love your input. So its pretty simple what do you do with your computer at night? I have heard funny things from people like "don't turn your computer off everynight its bad for it" etc.

So what do most ppl do?

(i put my computer into "sleep" mode)


Thanks for your valued input.

I always just leave mine on and turn my monitors off. Sometimes I use it to watch a movie and fall asleep so everything stays on, but I've never had any problems. If the LEDs are on, I'll usually switch those off before I go to bed.

Ya I was thinking about if it was overheating or not so I will probably just turn it off every night so it lasts longer.

standby or hibernation are the best, it goes into a low power state and the fans turn off, leds too. so its basicly off

Mine gets turned on when I wake up, turned off when I know I am going to go out for awhile, and when I am leaving temporarly I put it in sleep mode.

It's on when I'm around and if I pop out for a short time it stays on. If I'm asleep it's off and if I'm gone for a while, I can't sleep because one of my fans lights up my room:p

I turn mine off. Very rarely do I ever leave it on overnight/through the day when I'm not home.

It varies for me, though usually during school days I leave it on. Mostly 'cause I tend to finish up homework in the morning, so I don't feel like going through the trouble wasting valuable time turning on the computer. XD So...I usually open my Bittorrent program during that time. XD

If I'm sure I won't be using it anytime soon/later, then I turn it off.
