Well, my system is Windows XP, and it's been running smoothly for:

As far as i know, computers are made with the idea that they could possibly be on for very long periods of time. Now the only way that it would be really bad for the computer, is ifyou are overclocking any part of it. But other than that you are in good shape!

sometimes older versions of windows(like nt, or 98) tell you to reboot your computer after x ammount of days. kinda weird, I sugest liquid cooling if you do that, highly effective.

yeh. i have mine on alot; that is, it's on more than it is off. =P i have no trouble with it, just make sure ur net protected (firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware) and u let it cool down once in a while. reseting it or giving it power naps helps alot. u can cool a pc much faster than u can heat it up, just make sure ur fans are always working and ur not over working the cpu.

for windows, it's extremely bad for your computer - every windows server should be rebooted at least once a week... for your desktop pc though, i would imagine the same ... there are so many memory leaks all over windows. hence, the famous blue screen of death ... which in fact i keep getting with my new xp system. i hate it!

QUOTE the famous blue screen of death ... which in fact i keep getting with my new xp system. i hate it! That's strange... I didn't know the blue screen of death happened anymore. I have never experienced it outside of my Pentium II CPU, 2GB HD, 32MB RAM computer running Windows 95. I acually have almost no problems with Windows XP and I've been using this same computer for... almost 5 years. Anyways about the topic: I leave my computer on most of the time... shut it off once in a few nights and for vacations and other such things. It doesn't seem to hurt it, and my computer has a good fan with a fan over the CPU, so I don't think it will cause too much damage. |
