How long is your personal computer's uptime?

[ssluser]

What is the "uptime" on your personal computer (either your desktop or laptop)?

Mine is 2 days and a few hours above it.

 

[ScarabWeb]

Lol, the maximum was like 18 days.

However, currently' I'm doing 10 days I think.

 

[SenseiSteve]

I've never kept track. If you don't count restarts from Microsoft Updates, mine have been on for months

 

[AlexeyKH]

if it's necessary for me i think i could work for one month or more

 

[Ronnyice]

24 days ..

 

[mrgilb]

It's been up for a month sometimes usually is a couple days though for me.

 

[Devoted Hosting]

I switch this one off at night. Plus I restart through-out the day sometimes. So... probably 10 hours max

I've at the most left it on for a week. Other than that daily shutdowns when I go to bed. My laptop sleeps most of the time so maybe a month on the laptop.

 

[arpi_h]

I never leave it switched on, I shut down it before I go to sleep and turn it on in the morning.

 

[arbet]

18 days. I started tracking it down just last month. Lol.

 

[SenseiSteve]

I've actually started shutting down my workstation here nightly, but at home just turn the monitors off at night - and restart periodically - maybe once a week.

A personal advice would be try to save electricity by shutting down the workstations when not at use..

No Offense..

This is for the good will for all of us :thumbup:

 

[SenseiSteve]

That may be good advice, especially when our electric provider is asking for another 18% hike in fees this year again. Unfortunately, I run security cameras across the Internet, so shutting them down is not possible.

I've got a windows 98 computer upstairs that hasn't been off since August, but thats more because it also doubles as a server.

My main PC is easily on for a week or two in one hit.

month sometimes longer

I think the last time this machine was turned off, was right when I took it out of the box when I purchased it.
Mine stay running until they crash or die, or receive some type of upgrade that would require the machine to restart or be powered off.

I used to turn my stuff off nightly, way back in the day. I don't know if its just better quality stuff these days or what, but I used to have a lot of hardware issues and whatnot when turning the machine off and on frequently. I think that if you let them run and run and run, it may actually be a benefit.

 

[SenseiSteve]

Well, I blow my out from time to time, and I always power down for that.

 

[ldcdc]

I sometimes use "suspend" if I leave the computer for a short while, but otherwise I just turn it off. Why waste the energy?

 

[CS Squad]

for mine, i usually turn it off when i am not using the PC.
coz i don't want to waste electric
lol

 

[DD-Mark]

i never have/will leave it on, i turn it on when i need it and turn it off when i dont, but i heard a while backsomebody had left it on for about a year, wonder what this would do to the pc perfomance
