it is ok I think
but don't do that too often
if the hardware get too hot, your PC can be as slow as a snail
but if you really have to do that, just make sure it is cool

I would advise, though, that if you do it, to reboot at least once every two weeks... Else the system wil start running rather slowly.... >.<

It's better to turn off your computer... running ANYTHING long isnt good.

Example: If you stay awake all night and all day, you will be more likely to get sick. =)

Yes, it's quite alright. I turn my computer off about once a month. I restart like once every 2 days. Just make sure you try to setup the power saving features. That will put your computer on standby after a specified amount of inactivity. Otherwise leaving your computer on will run up your power bill. Also, make sure your computer is in a well ventilated room, otherwise, the room can get pretty uncomfortable.

My comp is on 24/7 now that i'm on campus and nothing has happened. But i do scan my comp daily for viruses and run Adaware and Defrag once a week to make sure its running smoothly. Then i do a restart. But after that... its good as new biggrin.gif

The only problem with leaving your computer on overnight is that your prone to getting viruses

I know it seems crazy to think that even with windows XP when you're COMPLETELY logged off that you can't get a virus, but I got one on my computer.

That Trojan thingy that you have to erase your harddrive for unless you want to pay a lot of money for a special trojan remover.

So I HAVE to turn off my computer whenever I finish using it
