My computer has been on for over 3 weeks. Photo shop has been open for about 2 and a half weeks ( haven't exited the program once in that time).

i never spent time and counted days, but the only time i'd turn mine off would be if it was totally screwed up, or if the power went out. neither of those happened alot, so im guessing my computer was on for a super long time.

'I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office before a physical this morning. There's nothing wrong with me, but healthy people get physicals just-for-the-hey-of-it every couple of days. When they finally mispronounced my name, I got up and walked down a hall with a nurse. After a while, the doctor came in and inspected my holes. He said that I should lose weight and consider stop smoking. I blew smoke in his face and explained that he is a douche bag. We all had a good laugh and he agreed.' -Skydaddy

I bought a new one two years ago and only turned it off once to move. My computer at work has been running for three years, with zero problems.(watch it's going to crash today)

I get annoyed with mine at night trying to sleep when I'm really tired, so I shut it off probably every 2 weeks or so.

Believe it or not, it is actually healthier for your computer when you leave it on rather than turn it on and off sveral times a day or even in a week (assuming that you have a decent power supply and cooling). My server at home is currently going on it's 1427 hour now (about 59 days I think...) and my computer had an all time record of 90 days (it was three months so it was close to 90 days) but it blew up due to some extreme power surges that hit my house.

Which just goes to show you, one surge protector, or even a surge protector or UPS does not garantee the safety of your beloved computer...

How good is your computer Pat?? Because personally, mine freezes quite a bit and it has 1.5 ghrtz of speed as well as 256 ram ( not too bad) If I have photoshop open it slows down the computer a bit and fucks some things up, so I usually have it off. Im just wondering what you do to keep your running smoothly.

This computers from 9 years ago. It's super slow and i always have it on becuase if i restart it, all sorts of crap appears about me messing sumthin up. I have to delete like everything on my computer just so the internet will go a little faster. I have DSL and it still goes slower than some1 elses dial up. It pisses me off.

this machine has been turned on for 28hours which is a sort of a miracle because usually this piece of crap crashes n+1 times per day.

Mine stays on roughly 24 hours or so before rebooting, since I run Norton Antivirus every day at 3am and Windows Update every day at 4am.

I would turn it off every night, but my router has a hardware firewall and I have no open ports (although I should open one so my Clie UX50 can use VNC to do some things while I am away from home).

I've been meaning to turn mine off, but Overnet is open and downloading NFS Underground so I'm waiting for it, otherwise it will take another year to restart.
