I did this when i was 14, now I know better. There's absolutely no point in leaving a computer on when you're sleeping, at school or at work. Just imagine a chip missing a process and sets on fire, bye bye house + computer. It eats electricity (not much, but if you leave it on for no reason, its waste of money). If you don't shut down your computer because it starts up slow (lets say more than 5minutes) then obviously you're doing something wrong, if you have a recent (2-3years old) computer. Use soluto if your computer starts up slow, it's a program that shows you all the programs that start up when you start up your computer. Some are totally unnecessairly. Removing these from the start up list makes your computer start up a lot quicker. Other than that, just a clean, regularly test for virusses, ad aware, programs that you don't use anymore, will keep your computer fast. Remove all you don't use anymore. If, for some reason your computer still starts up slow, just turn it on, and go eat something or take a piss, then come back and it'll be ready for use. Starting up your computer and closing it a lot of times, does not affect your system at all. Leaving it on on the other hand.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 0
Izacboy123 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Leaving your computer on unecessarily just wastes energy and decreases the lifespan of your components, not to mention the amount of dust it collects; if you leave it on for ages you run the risk of your components overheating and blowing :/ Personally, I always switch off my computer. I bought an SSD so it takes about 2 seconds to turn off, and about 7-8 seconds to boot back up again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 0
