So yeah my question is, could it be potentially dangerous to leave your computer running for a couple days and nights without it being turned off?

I am running a particular program that works wonders when i'm not around (overnight and when i'm in school).

Thanks

just make sure your computer doesn't get too hot and the fan works properly.

I would just say dont give a damn about turning off ur PC

unless following reason

-when ur CPU runs 70%+ while u run ur proggy o-o;;

-when ur CPU/GPU Temp is higher than normal (50"+?)

-if you are going to use ur computer for NEXT 20 YEARS

-if you are running High resource games/proggies/hardware

that eats alot of wattage (EX. Crysis, or running 2x 8800GT+ SLI lol)

the thing is that most ppl switch their sys may be every 2~5years max

so unless you are tryin to use ur computer for decades or unless your

are running out of money to pay the eletricity, i wouldnt bother to

turn off my desktop computer,

incase of a laptop, u might have to consider bit more leaving it on too

long since laptops have limitation of upgrading/fixing it

another thing is to turn of ur INDEXING SERVICE that

XP/VISTA runs on ur background

it swaps ur hard driver even u are IDLE

to turn this damn thing off

push WINDOWS LOGO+R then type in SERVICES.MSC

scroll down to INDEXING SERVICE and DISABLE IT

No, it doesn't matter how much CPU time you eat up as long as it doesn't toast. Also the temperatures vary depending on make.

Haven't turned off my computer for the last years, unless i have been needed to restart. Even left my computer on for two months when i was off vocation.

I'm just wondering how much money it would cost if you let your PC on for a whole month.

yes well I do turn mine off when not using it as a new harddrive motherboard and vid card are usually cheaper than the electricity bill constant running amounts to,
after a couple of years a new cpu/mobo and vid card are usually in the pipeline for me anyway,
my harddrives have lasted well,
even have some second hand ones in use in spare machines that are about 7 years old, even got one ten years old on a shelf that I might drill out for the magnets,

the gaming rig that has a 500 watt psu, now I would not like to leave that on constantly,
I use a lower powered pc with a 300 watt psu for watching films or googling, I dont mind leaving that pc on for long periods when needed but leaving it running unattended seems a waste,

if your running a dedicated game server maybe something like that but not my idea of fun, only would do that from a firms pc that was on all the time anyway Twisted Evil

new harddrives are getting such large capacity for low expense that old ones after a few years are not worth the expense of constant running to avoid spin up/down wear,
500 gig external drives are even not too expensive now,

but thats my preference, turn off as I update pc's every now and then,

with the money I save on electricity bills I can afford to buy new ones as well,

still...its horses for courses, everyone has their own best way and this is just my personal preference
