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 :)
 
overnight, its my family pc, but when i build mine (a few weeks to go) im sure it will go 2-3 days, i will play games int he evening and run defrag/anti-bad stuff programs during school and sleeping.
 
my maximum is i think 3 months..... came back and i swear, all of the instant messages (PUT UP A FRIGGEN AWAY MESSAGE IF YOUR GONE FOR A LONG TIME!!!) i thought if i got one more, id blue screen lol
 
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 :P
 
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 :P

And my PC is up to: 6 Days, 0 Hours, 16 Minutes :)
 
only overnight when im downlaoding something or all day when i cant be botherrd to laod it back up lord a have u got like a massive electricity bill or sumin lol

No not really. An old computer without a monitor takes less than you think.

ya, everything came from there. I downloaded DesktopX from download.com, and the "widgets" i downloaded from www.wincustomize.com.

does it take a lot of ram to run it? i am running window blinds right now, but as far as i know it is just for themes, not clocks and other stuff. so could i run desktopX over window blinds or will it change my gui also?
 
Windowsblinds takes up alot of resources, desktopX uses a fair amount of ram, but it all depends on how many widgets you have running. And DesktopX can change your computers theme, or you can have it just run the widgets.
 
longest i have used is more than 10 months (since sept 2004) then shutted down for couple days then back up till this date...
