Do you turn off your monitor when you are away from your computer or do you hibernate your computer to resume the work at time of restarting?

Yes and no. Usually i don't turn it off. But if I'm downloadin something big and I will turn it off.

Even I do the same. When I download big file, say for example movie, then I will change the computer settings and the computer will turn off the monitor within few minutes and I wake up the computer. Thank you for responding to the discussion and letting us know the interest.

My computer is always almost 24/7 on, and I will never put it in hibernate, because it doesn't save that much electricity, in my opinion. But i must say that whenever I go away, then usually I start some download, or something else that can be automatically done, and I will turn off my monitor. This way I will at least save SOME energy with it! rasp

Hibernate is very similar to switching off your computer. The only difference is that, Say for example, if you have 10 to 15 windows opened in the desktop and if you hibernate and next time you start your computer, you could see all the windows but if you shut down and restart the computer there will be no window to work with. Thank you for responding to the discussion and letting us know the interest.

Ajay, did you say that you are sitting most of the time in front of PC. Make sure that your eyes are well protected and because of this computer radiation many bad things might happen and if there is no protection, do not try to stare at the computer screen continuously, try to watch other things also. Thank you for responding to the discussion and letting us know the interest.

i dont turn off my computer..its time consuming turning it on again..and i dont like it! so i prefer turning it on ..


myLot reputation of 74/100. ravusri1 (828)   ranked 12 out of 3,425 in computers  1 year ago

Pryce, I think the best advise I can give you is to hibernate your computer so that if you have many windows open on your computer, when you turn it on, all the windows will still be there. Thank you for responding to the discussion and letting us know the interest.

Every day when I leave work the computer along with the monitor goes off to save energy. I am really for the going green and any way I can do my part is okay with me. My computer at home is always off unless I need to use it. They also say to unplug any devices that are currently not being used but are plugged into the wall as that takes up energy as well.

Mines on time, and if not in use it turns itself off, so if when you return you need to sort of reboot.

But most new PC'S would have this in the normal program, its only to set it for the time you want it to kick in when you are away from the PC or not working on the PC.

i do turn it off whenever i am away, i don't do it because i think it'll save me any electricity bills or something, i just do it because i like to .its a little habbit of mine .

more over i believe everything has its live and nothing will stay forever . so the more you use your stuff the quicker it'll end .( hope you get my point here )

Me and my fiance spend most of our time on the computers doing sites like mylot to try and make money since we can not find a job right now due to the shape of the economy and the way gas prices keep shifting,so we have to make as much money online as we can,so we can get what we need,especially since right now we are saving for our wedding,and usually we will take breaks and either go watch television in our room,or in the den,or play a video game,or maybe even just lay down and cuddle,and I will leave the monitor on the desktop turned on,so that way when we come back I can take it off the screensaver and go back to whatever I was doing,but if we are not coming back to the computers,I always turn the monitor off,and log the computer off and leave it logged off until we come back to the computer room.
