I wanna know if it's ok if I leave my compter on and turn off my moniter while I sleep.. like.. will the plugs or something get too hot and stuff and then explode or something..
Close this anytime you want..

Yes it is.

I'm pretty sure it'll be okay.. my boyfriend NEVER turns off his computer... and it's still in good working order...

yea thats why u have fans in ur comp, to keep them cool ~_~ , i have 5 haha....neon lights tend to heat things up

yea it is. my parents do that all the time with the computer downstairs

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

naw...its wont mess up or anythng =]

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.... >.<

I do it all the time and so far, nothing's exploded.

its safe..i leave my computer on 24/7 for downloads overnight and during school hours....nothing has happened so far :)

i doont know
i always turn mine off
(habit)
but yeah im not sure

yeah its safe. thats what i do and have been doing forever.

yeah i think it's fine unless you have an older computer like my upstairs one lol cuz if i leave it on for awhile the monitor gets hot n stuff but if you have a newer computer like my downstairs one its fine

yeah. before i had a comp in my room and i never turned it off cuz i think the noise helped me fall asleep or something. but then it broke, lol. so turn of your computer!

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 ...
I see no reason why the computer will get tired. lol.

It is best for you to turn it off, although I don't think your comp will explode if you don't.

I always leave my computer on and turn off the monitor, nothing has happened so far. So yes, it is safe.

Yeaps, my brother does it all the time. :D It's okay. Nothing happens unless you delete a program for it to turn on the computer or something. haha

Eh. The radiation.

yes its sooo fine! it wont explode..

yeah, i think so. i do that sometimes, and nothing has happened to my computer yet

yeah it is, i used to leave it on for a month when i was lazy back then

yeh its quite alright. i usually leave it overnight to dl stuff... so yeh
altho the humming of the fan can annoy u while u sleep.

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.

why not just put it on standby. but it doesn't matter. i have friends on AIM that say they stay online for like days.

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

yeah i do that every now and then but yeah it slows my computer down sometimes so i have to like turn it off for the night or something




.:tony:.

i never turned off my computer at all... when it froze i turn it off but then i dont turn it off until the computer frozes again hehe... NEVER! rofl so yeah nothing happens... i wont blew up...

i keep my computer on and all it does is heat it up. but thats why our computers have fans, so its alright.

dont do it for a old computer

maybe you should put it in hibernation instead of keeping it on....

I never turn mine off....and neither doesnmy boyfriend, so it cannot be that bad just reboot it once in a while

the question was answered, now people are just spamming

Yup, I leave my computer on all day.

yeah. loads of people leave their computer on for days..crazy. i like to turn mines off..well i have aol too thats why. haha

i heard that i was better leaving it on...then always having to turning it on n off..cuz when u do that it burns something or something..ioon thats wat i was told..but i used to keep my comp on f or days n days...

just to let u know... u can leave ur computer on but not ur laptop-_-;; i heard that it can bring damage to ur laptop and such cause these oppas i know who has business and such, they have laptops and 3 of my oppas broke their laptop from leaving it on for like the last 2 days >.<;; i dont know how that happens and all cause it's kinda weird that it got broken and all but yeah heh

i never turned off my comp..i think i left my comp on for a few weeks or so..still workin fine

Yeah. My computer's fan is really quiet. You cant hear it at all cuz its like really new and stuff. So yeah, I guess its ok as long as it keeps cool.

ehh i have a laptop and i turn it off.

my computer never stays on when im not on it like overnight or while im at school. i dunno i dont see the point of leaving it on. just a waste of power

I leave my computer on forever. DSL been on for about 30 days already. LOL. Computer been on for 40 days since last shutdown.

It alright at longs as it don't overheat so make sure it aint in a location where it gets really hot.

I do it all the time.
My computer's usually up for a week.
Notice;

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

if you leave it on like .. 24/7 doesn't it make your electricity bill go UPPPPP?

um..ya my comp is on 24/7 with monitor shutoff, same with my bros and hes comp is beside mine, both on 24/7 restarts it every two days, works like an angel =D

I dunno if it's good or not...
so I turn it off every night before I go to sleep.

i guss its ok

its toally safe i know ppl who left thier comps on for like a week lol
