Poll: Do you shutdown your computer?

Submitted by saudor on Wed, 22/04/2009 - 4:32pm
or do you put it on standby like me when you're not using it :P [quote]1868524 sec (21 days, 15 hours, 2 min, 4 sec)[/quote] P.S. to find out when you last started your computer: [quote]Option 1: 1. Go to "Start" -> "Run". 2. Write "CMD" and press on "Enter" key. 3. Write the command "net statistics server" and press on "Enter" key. 4. The line that start with "Statistics since …" provides the time that the server was up from.[/quote]

I used to always leave mine on. But lately I have noticed my computer starts to run slower and slower the more days I leave it on. And now my kids are getting on me to save energy since it's earth day today. So now I have been shutting it off each night.

I shut down and clear my cache, cookies and temp files every night unless I'm working on something, only then will I leave it on for the night.

[quote=jetcitywoman13]I shut mine down every night[/quote] Me too. Plus, whenever I close my laptop or it goes into sleep mode from being on batteries and inactive, my WiFi stops working and I have to reboot anyway.

I used to use standby a lot :O but my laptop started getting all slow and stuff. So then until recently I used to shut it down every night. I stopped doing that because I noticed my laptop lags less if I leave it constantly on *lol* Restarts still needed every few days though stats say 20/04/09 I'd say i'm due a restart then :P

I shut mine down everyday. I feel this helps my computer run faster.

Well my computer is in my room... If I leave it on stand by you can still hear the computer making tiny noises at night... and this big blue light flashes which annoys me... Its just like having a clock in your room that goes tick tock tick tock ahhh... So yeah I shut mine down every night
