Do you turn off your computer when you're done for the night?

Any problems after not turning off your computer for a month ? Say, over-heating ? etc ? No problems during lightning-days ? My computer has some problems now : after turning-off, it takes a long time to open again ! So, I intend to not turning-off my computer, but not sure of its consequences.

For practical reason, I do. It is a waste of electricity, money and may cause accident. So be a habit to shut down your pc. Great day!

Hey, Yes I always turn off my computer, since it isn't good practicum to continually leave it one, it might ware out the hard drive or the CPU if you do that. If you want to just flick it back on, at least put it on 'hibernate' or 'sleep'. You can still flick it back on in like 2 seconds with these methods. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

I have 3 computers in my house each has a program I have on them that earns me money when the computers are on so when I go to bed I rotate which one gets to stay on all night and the other 2 will be shut down. So at least I make some money while I sleep

The best thing to do, is find hardware or software that will do this. Its not hard based on the face that network wakeup works.

yes i turn it off i hate wasting electricity and ,money.i only leave it on when i am gonig to do something then come bacj and use it again. my mom's bf always leaves it on he is the dumbest person i met and he is ugly i hate him.

I generally shut down my system when I go for sleep but sometimes when I download something.. I do not power it off for whole night..

It's usually one of the last things I do at night (turn it off) and one of the first things I do in the morning (turn it on) I might be addicted, lol.

Well My pc is 24h/7 and unless the pc broke down ..It will stay 24h a day..

wow its can be a great record for a personal computer..normally i'll do that online on the weekend or went i'm getting long holiday

Well, Depends. For the last 2 months my SERVER COMPUTER'S where not turned off for maintaince for like 7 months. but my real computer is turned off in about every 4-7 days.

Most of the time computer my computer remains switched on in the night ....most of the time i download something(games,movies etc)....as i have a night unlimited connection so its the best time for me do something in the internet..... sometime i stay up all night to play online games....some times i even forget to switch it off.

I use to leave mine own all night. But now I switch it of when I go to bed. Saves power. :o)

There are benefits to turning off your computer when you are done with it. First of all it saves on energy, and we could all use the savings in the power bill department. It also gives your computer a chance to cool down. PCU's run at a very high temp and running for extended periods of time can cause faster wear and tear. Also turning off your system clears your RAM, which is good because a lot of information is store there, some that is not needed anymore, and this can slow down your computer over time. You don't have to turn it off EVERY night, but every couple of days isn't a bad idea. Blessings! MissusV

I usually turn my computer off when i go to bed and turn it back on when i get up.

I have a laptop so it shuts off when I close it. I keep it in a drawer to keep the cats off of it!

I turn mine off since I don't use it in my sleep. I do also use my computer right after waking up, but it only takes a short while to start up, so I don't see the point in wasting electricity to save that tiny bit of time.

Yes. Also when I have to go to college. I only use it for 5 hours during the mornings and another 5 hours in the evenings and I turn in off all those hours in between. As much as I'd love to leave my computer downloading, the weather is too hot here and I'm afraid my PC would die of overheat.

I turn my computer off when I go to bed. I think leaving it on even in sleep mode wastes more energy than just starting it back up again in the morning. Besides, my computer seems to have a problem with overheating, so I turn it off to keep it cool, among other things.
