Do you regularly "shut down" your computer?

[Wooloo]

Excludes hibernating, putting to sleep, etc.

Do you?

I used to hibernate my laptop all the time, but ever since upgrading to desktop and getting an SSD, I shut down my computer every night because start up takes ~15-20 seconds to do. I was always under the impression that shutting down your computer regularly was a good habit to get into, but all my friends just leave theirs on 24/7. Does it matter if I shut down or not?

The question mostly applies because I got a new ultrabook, and I sometimes close it and forget that I left it on. (I think it hibernates after a certain amount of time... not too sure.) Will this have any negative effects on my laptop?

[DJ Music Man]

Hm... I know that my father always tell me to restart the laptop every day, as a good measure against Windows causing its own errors from running for so long... But yet... Desktops, I've heard the opposite before, that shutting it down constantly can cause it to break faster...

IDK...

I notice since I've started leaving it on to ab all the time has made it work better. Dunno how it works but hey. It works XD

[Accelerator]

Nope, but it's a PiTA when I have to reboot to switch Operating Systems :P

[Naked Gamer]

i've been told from my computer guy that leaving a computer on will make it last longer. so since then i've left my PC on for long periods of time up to 6months-1year with out full shutdown.

[Pusheen]

I have a friend who gave me the advice to always shutdown my Mac, since she never did that with hers and it got busted, and when going to the store to try to repare it, they told her this fact had a lot to do with why her Mac only lasted this long.

[SweetSong]

Yep every night :)

[domedyne]

I usually set it to automatically shut down every night after falling asleep, mainly because I run some heavy programs for a few hours late at night and don't want my comp to overheat.

[futosss]

I never do unless it's acting up. It's always on otherwise.

[Monster1uz]

Only when needed. Heat cycles are bad as long as you have a good cpu and graphics cooler then leave it on

[Wooloo]

Your avatar is so creepy :(

So the general consensus is to shut down laptops but it's okay to leave desktops on? How come there's a difference?

[GrimmBunny]

I lost my old cpu because it was overheating so I always shut down
i got traumatized

[Voidian]

I hardly ever power down my PC is always on and connected to the HDMI port on my Xbox one. So if I say ,"Xbox go to TV" it goes to my desktop. That way I can be programming but still in party chat on the Xbox one :p.

[Kenji]

I turn off my pc every night.

[Benghazi]

I turn my laptop off every night now, but I used to keep my desktop running all night.

[I_royalty_I]

I never turn off my laptop. I always have a thousand notepads open with different info and about a million different tabs. I toss it into sleep when I go to sleep, then we wake up together and see if anything exciting happened overnight.

[Venus]

I shut down my computer every night. Although my computer is pretty new so it doesn't take long to boot up.

[Wooloo]

I never turn off my laptop. I always have a thousand notepads open with different info and about a million different tabs. I toss it into sleep when I go to sleep, then we wake up together and see if anything exciting happened overnight.

That's gonna kill your laptop, Andrew. I hibernated my old old laptop for a year and a half until its internal battery thing died. :(
now it needs to be plugged in to work at all

[riedy]

I only don't shut it down when I still have something to watch open.

[txtsd]

Not really. Only when I have to. Current uptime is 11 days 14 hours.
But I run linux, and it doesn't need to be rebooted like Windows does.

[littlespacecase]

Ah I rarely do...I probably should shut mine down more especially now that it's getting a little old.

[Mechabolt]

Yes everyday!

[Harlequin]

Hardly ever, even though I was advised when I bought it a few months ago to shut down everyday. I do crazy things like get up in the middle of the night and play games, so I nearly always just put it in sleep mode.

[mietzefratze]

my laptop shuts down at night when the battery is empty, cause i watch films till i fall asleep. :D

[Maison]

I had Mac laptops since I was 10 years old and I never power it off I just close it and yeah open it whenever I want to use it

[Tempestmancer]

I never power...anything off lol. The only time anything gets shut down is my chromebook(when I HAVE TO), my desktop (When the power goes out), and my phone( when I have to update the rom. ^_^

[joker]

I didn't shut-down my laptop for the past 3 weeks :)

[Sci_Girl]

I only do when a program or the internet freezes. Or when an update requires me to. Otherwise meh I get annoyed by waiting for it to boot up.

[Mindfang]

haha nah im too goddamn lazy

ive always got art open and cba saving and shutting down and all that i just wanna get my pc booted up and fire in

[neofreak]

I kind of do both equally.
I've never been quite sure if turning a computer on/off often ruins it or, if leaving it on indefinitely ruins it so I just do both.

[Virus]

I shut my desktop down every night when I sleep.
I don't like leaving it on.

[Integra]

Nothing to do with not liking leaving them running (although thats a good way to wear the fans out) I do restart every now and then as it appears to provide a significant performance increase as opposed to constantly sleeping/hibernating them!

[siaospear]

I dont shut it down because i like to leave my programs running overnight. That said, i feel as though i may be overworking my lappy and that it should get a good rest every now and then :/

[Corvid]

i usually shut my off whenever i'm not using it, but whenever i've got a bunch of tabs that i need saved i'll put it to sleep. but after a few days of that it usually gets slow and freezes a lot, so i try not to do it that often :O

[70spurple]

No... i put it to sleep or Restart when it stops working

[Teal]

I usually just shut my screen and resume my work later.
Sometimes, my computer freaks out if I do this and open it a week later..

That's when I'll shut it down.

[Urbex]

I always put my computer to sleep when I'm not going to be using it for an extended period of time. When this time is >1 day I shut it down completely. Sometimes I'll just turn my display off

[delli]

Usually only about once a month or so

[Daeran]

I tend to keep my computer in sleep more or under lock. I restart every so often for updates.

[Daviid]

I shut down mine every night if I'm not downloading anything.
Always click Home > Shut Down.

Busted my last HDD by shutting down my pc by the power switch.

[Sezy]

I shut it down all the time
My bf leaves his on sleep mode. Seems pretty pointless to me

[foreignemphasis]

Monster1uz is right. It can hurt your computer if it is on high temperatures for long periods every day. So that's a downside to leaving it on. But if you can overcome that, and keep your computer on low power mode or something without shutting it down very often, it'll prolong your laptop's lifespan.

[joeyjoey95]

I shutdown my laptop every night just because it tends to overheat if left on for a long time

[WantaFanta]

I always shut down my macbook regularly. I often forget to shut down my vaio laptop due to me forgetting it or using it to transfer files remotely (it's on the verge of breaking down anyway, so I need to replace it).

[Primrose]

I try to always do it, but sometimes I'm just too lazy

[shaka]

sometimes i forget i left it on and it can go an entire day like that

[nanil]

I've been told by a friend who works with computers that leaving it on is the best option. So, that's what I do.

[Ceiria]

Always leave mine on.. Restart maybe once a month or when it starts to be slow. +3years no issues (yet)

[Accelerator]

[Only registered and activated users can see links]
LMAO e__e

[Mr Farenheight]

i dont but my work forces me to because i cant change the settings and the damn thing is always automatically shutting down/restarting
its hella annoying bc we use cloud software so i have to sync everything

[nightskys]

I'm too lazy so I just let it die lol.

[Saitama]

I've set my laptop to sleep when I close the lid. Past that, I only restart when I have win updates or just installed something.

[Introvert]

I only ever close the lid on my macbook, although even if I was to shut down it takes less than 5 mins to completly boot up.
Just laziness really.

[blup13]

I try to shut down the laptop every night, but i'm too lazy...hibernate hibernate

[nickirows]

I shut my laptop down every night. I read that it's good for its health to deep sleep, and my baby is precious to me.

[bandit]

I shut down my computer every night. I feel like my computer should get rest too or it won't function normally hahaha.

[Irohh]

I always shut it down. Otherwise it'll eat a lot of power c:
But I used to just put it into hibernate with my old computer because it would take 5+min to fully turn on.

[Herb]

Nope never had my macbook for 2 years now no problem with it
it just takes ages to start if i shut it down
im a impatient person aha

[Doom]

I shut it down for the night because it's getting way too hot otherwise x)
It's normally just on when I'm actually using it. I mean that shit also cost electricity, I aint spending more than I have to.

[m4s]

When I had my old laptop, I'd just hibernate it cause I was too lazy to save my files before shutting it down, and if I hibernate it, I get to access the same old files the next day. It'll get all laggy and what not if I didn't shut it down for a few consecutive days

But now that I have a new ultrabook, I shut it down every night cause well, I'm babying it I guess.

[Saria]

I shut mine down every night. It overheats like crazy so if anything it's to cool it down...

[Hel]

Never shut down, im a horrible computer owner :'(

[Raichuu]

I personally run my mac 24/7. I have a program that I run throughout the day and part of the night, but I have my laptop set where it doesn't go to sleep. I've only been doing this for maybe 3 or 4 months. Prior to that I would shut it down semi-regularly. I've noticed that for me my laptop has been running more smoothly keeping it up all the time, but that may just be coincidence. c:

[Misha]

I only shut down/restart my laptop if I know I'll be gone for the entire day. Otherwise I just let it sit on standby/close it up and charge it.

[Sakuras]

I find it funny that I was reading this topic today, and then during class I noticed my battery on my laptop now says "Condition: Replace Soon" :(

[nicolae]

Only when needed

[Koneko]

I rarely ever shut mine down, which is probably contributing to the fact that my computer is almost out the door.

[Espeon]

Probably should but nah

[blueduck23]

I like to shutdown pretty regularly... I'm also that person who actually uses their parking brake too lol

Everyday when I'm going to sleep, try to keep it off if i'm not running anything or doing anything on it, cuts down on electric bills

[nickirows]

I always shut my computer down when I'm not using it! I wouldn't want to stay up all night (I say at 2:30am), so I don't expect my computer to.

[toastercat]

Turn off my desktop every night.

[unknowable]

I'm a 24/7 person.

[Hiraeth]

idk why but i'm not overly comfortable leaving my laptop running 24/7? i don't think it'll blow up...but i think it's safer to switch it off. xD

[Aura]

I never shut down mine, lol. I just close the screen and it seems to be fine.

[phantasia]

I actually do. I feel it clears the RAM

[Hidden]

I never shut down mine, lol. I just close the screen and it seems to be fine.

Yupppp mine's on 24/7 too

[unexp]

I always keep mine on. D: And only shut it down when it's performing poorly. Lol.

[Xiloscient]

I have to everyday because I usually leave it running and then when I go to use it after not using it for 8-16 hours it runs slow and forces me to restart to regain speed lol

[lagrima]

I use it a lot during the day so I make sure to turn it off when I go to sleep, mostly because I'm scared I'll end up breaking it or something by leaving it on all the time.

[Nyu]

The one i had before was on all day, but it started to act really weird, some things didn't load and it started freezing randomly.
I bought a new one and I turn it off every night, im afraid the same could happen to this one.

[freshoffthetrev]

My desktop computer never turns off. No way. Unless the power goes out lol.. as for my macbook, that never turns off either. I just close the lid and it goes to sleep. Nuff said.

[Penholder]

I always shut mine down. I have this fear of it overheating.

[PabstBlueRibbon]

I shut my laptop down when I'm done using it for the day or am going to work. But I am known to let mine idle during the day when I wander away from the keyboard. I don't have an SSD, so keeping the amount of revolutions it has to do down keeps it from wearing out sooner. That's not so much of a problem now with more HDs going to Flash or hybrid Flash form. <- Don't quote me on this, it's been awhile since I've checked things on Ifixit, lol.

When I used to use a macbook/apple desktop I always shut it down, mostly because of overheating issues and because the shut-down/start up was supposed to help it self-defrag. The one good thing about Apple is that it doesn't do stupid things with sub-directories like Windows does (the other was Adaptic Toast, but that's it).

[toomanyskins]

sometimes i forget and leave it on all night, but most of the time I shut it down.

Unless its my laptop then it can be on for days! I know so bad....

[Jerri]

My desktop is switched off every night. My laptop I just shut the lid, and my HTPC only ever goes off if the power fails. I never turn my phone or tablets off either. So not really sure why I turn the desktop off.

[sopngeo]

I turn to off after every use, bit of a habit of mine I like to keep to.

[RGBKittens]

i try to turn my computer off every night. if i leave it on I always restart it the next morning before using it

[Foxglove]

I didn't in the past, but nowadays my laptop is a potato and it ends up running extremely slowly if I don't shut it down once every 1-2 days :(

[Primrose]

I always shut down my computer... sometimes multiple times a day. I always thought that it was better to shut it down than to leave it on... hmm :O

[RGBKittens]

I didn't in the past, but nowadays my laptop is a potato and it ends up running extremely slowly if I don't shut it down once every 1-2 days :(

I recommend downloading a program like CCleaner. Cleans all the crap from your browsers and deletes broken registries and such. Keeps my computer running nicely

[iceberry]

I shut down my computer everyday. I feel that when I turn it on again the next day, it runs smoother.

I have a work computer as well and I never shut that thing off, lol. I just don't really care because we have an IT department to fix it if it goes bonkers.

Sometimes I go a week without shutting down. I have no problems :)

[Daviid]

I used to, but I've recently started playing Realm Grinder.

[Hiraeth]

the only time i don't shut down my pc is when i'm downloading stuff ;D i'm always afraid that my pc would just die on me, or overheat if i leave it on for too long haha.

[yellowbomb04]

Laptops I always keep on but my desktop I always shut down. I've had several blown power supplies from blown fuses or power surges. Yes I know it matters if I have special plugs but I don't lol.

[champloo]

No. I use an SSD for my operating system, which operates optimally when it's never rebooted.

[Bela Lugosi]

no i always let mine sleep.. takes too long to start

[unknowable]

Nope. Too much effort.

[xmilo]

Then i think it's time for you to step to the dark side.. the SSD side. :biggrin:

or buy a new computer!:o_o:

[Rowling]

I always let my laptop sleep, basically until it dies :rolleyes:
My desktop is off until I need it, which is maybe once a week.
I'll be honest I'm just lazy with the laptop LOL

[OakTree]

I let my laptop sleep whenever I am done because... Its got a battery.
My desktop? I am sure the off/on button thing still works but why would I test it?

In all seriousness leaving the pc on consumes more electricity, turning it off and on shortens component lifetime.

In the long run its still cheaper to turn off every time.
Is it that big of a deal? Well not really.

[not_you_22]

I leave my computer on to do virus checks and defrag sometimes, but I don't make a habit of leaving the thing on...

Not any more these days, I mean..

[Serpent Rider]

I prefer to shut down. Electricity is precious to me!!

[Jackaroo]

I don't think I've properly shut my laptop down since I got it. It's done a lot of sleeping, but no shutdowns.

[j03]

My desktop, yes. It's actually perfectly fine to do so. With a laptop, you could set to sleep/hibernate or shutdown as well.

[createweb]

I only shut down when i find that its starting to slow down

[zattab]

Yes! It bothers me to no end when people don't shut down their computers or AT LEAST restart!

My mom never shuts down her laptop and wonders why it will start freezing after a while or there'll be connectivity issues with the printer or mouse or something. Whenever she asks for help I just tell her to restart and she's consistently amazed when it fixes whatever her problem was, as if I haven't told her a million times to take better care of the poor thing! ALWAYS has it plugged in too, even when it's sleeping, and wonder why it doesn't hold a charge anymore when it's not even old :/ Same thing with her phone. I tell her to shut it down before going to sleep since she puts it on silent anyway, but nah. Then complains when it has issues or the battery doesn't last very long when she's only had it a few months. Sigh.

[Lilisha]

Apart from rare occasions I do shut it down every night before going to sleep.
When I was a teen though, I'd always leave it running and idling in some MMORPGs for overnight giveaways and stuff like that. xD

[wmagicw]

My laptop is on about 24/7. I'm so scared that one day it will explode :o_o:

[Star Dream]

It seems to be a lot healthier for the computer overall in the long run, or at least for its battery.
I've gotten into the habit of running CCleaner and then shutting it down completely between sessions, usually right before I go to bed. It keeps things tidy.

[spacezeus]

It's always better to shut down when you're not doing anything. It doesn't really does any damage if you turn it on 24/7, unless you run it for a very long time or youre running a lot of programs/tasks, I usually shut down my lappy once every 2-4 weeks.

[sweetypie]

I never shut down my laptop. I'm too lazy for that lol

[EvolutionZzZ]

I get better buy times I feel after shutting down my computer. I mean, I clear cookies and what not after signing out of each account. But shutting it down for a lil and restarting is a GREAT idea!

[Meowlily]

I usually shut it down every night ~

[scornty]

Some OSs only check for updates upon restarting, so I think it's important to do so every so often. Similar question: if you use Chrome, do you restart it when you notice it needs to be updated?

[godofred]

I have had the same version of Chrome running for three-ish months. In that time, I have not shut down my main desktop or browser, and everything seems to still run smoothly. I do shut down my laptop, but that's because I take it with me to classes and such

[wajack]

I always shut my computers down daily. You'll get many more years out of your CPU if you do. Cell phones were designed and engineered to be on 24/7, so it doesn't matter if you leave them on or off.

[pokwang]

so I didn't know the answer to this at first. I usually shut down my PC after every use. so I did some googling and I found this:

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

it's a good and very informative read...
if you don't feel like reading to make everything short and cute
it's not recommended to always turn your pc on and off because it causes wear to the mechanics of the PC and an occasional restart is recommended to ensure integrity of your operation system. it's recommended to leave your pc to sleep when not in use

[Harley]

My laptop is usually fully shut down once or twice a week when I notice things aren't running as smoothly. Other than that, I usually leave my laptop in sleep mode. My sister left her tablet turned on for a few months straight, and that little thing ran incredibly slow and froze all the damn time.

Oh dang, for real? I almost always shutdown my PC every day (I think the weekends are the only time I don't). Whenever I leave it sleeping, everything just gets laggier until I restart. Maybe it's 'cause my computer is ancient, but still.

yah maybe it's already slow from being old and outdated?
the article actually says if you have an old computer , it's more of a reason to not always shut it down because it wears down the mechanical components of the computer.i have been unaware of all of these myself. I shut down my computer after every use. but the explanation actually makes sense

[domedyne]

yah maybe it's already slow from being old and outdated?

Hmm yeah, maybe. It could also be the case that it might not be as good if you shutdown and restart very frequently, but maybe once every few days is better. Hard to say without doing rigorous studies for it though.

[pokwang]

the only time articles say it doesn't matter is if you barely use the computer...for example: if you're only going to use the computer for a task and don't plan on using the PC again a couple of days later.
this is all new to me too.
when you say old, how old are we talking about tho? and whether or not if you've upgraded any of the components at all

[master4you2]

When my computer is not in use, it is turned off, I don't know in reality if this is needed, but I have no reason to keep it on so I make sure everything is off when not in use.

[domedyne]

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I rarely don't do anything with my computer for a couple days though, so maybe I should start having it sleep more instead of shut down...


when you say old, how old are we talking about tho? and whether or not if you've upgraded any of the components at all

Mine is about 5 years, though I recently cleaned it up (both hardware and software). No upgrades to the components. It runs better than it did before, but it still lags after waking up from sleep.

[mafiakl]

i never shut down my office pc, my pc is on sleep mode when i'm going back home

the only time my pc shut down is when there is no electricity in the office

[GimmeALeg]

When my computer is not in use, it is turned off, I don't know in reality if this is needed, but I have no reason to keep it on so I make sure everything is off when not in use.

It used to be that keeping the computer running was better for it (I'm talking maybe 10 years ago, on older tower computers), but it might have changed since then. Judging from the ancient computers in my office and when I played around with them, I think it's worse to keep them on through the night or weekend. They just freeze and die when you come back. Laptops are probably better with power management and could be kept either off or asleep, but don't quote me on that.

[ucohuc]

My laptop is in sleep mode as I am always studying for uni and it's so much more convenient to just come back to it. I DO prefer to switch things off though to save power. I'm a bit surprised to see it's better for the PC to be left on!

[MrSlowBro]

shut it down once a week and you'll be ok

[jrdizzle]

I shutdown my computer after every use mostly for updates, but if you're on an actually desktop computer, then I'd say it's more for saving power and lowering that electricity bill even by just a tiny bit.

[LaVieBoheme]

I rarely bother shutting my laptop down; it hibernates when I close the lid and that's good enough for me. I'm probably dealing with very sub-optimal speeds thanks to not refreshing the RAM or whatever as a result, though.

[Maneki Neko]

I always turn my desktop computer off, but I rarely turn off my laptop, I just kinda.. shut it and forget about it for days ahaha.

[unexp]

I shut it down when I'm going to be gone for a long period of time. Other than that I just keep it on and turn off the screen when I go to sleep.

[salsadog]

I keep my desktop on and turn it off whenever I leave for trips/for updates. Although, it's extremely hot over here so I turn it off during the days when I'm not using it.

[tatnoob]

I normally just turn off my computer when I'm not using it, saves me some electricity.

[Holly]

Now that I got an SSD I reboot a lot more. Probably should automate actually turning it off when done backing up overnight.

[Cure]

i shut down my computer much less often than i should... i'm lazy

[Kezzie]

I am too impatient to wait for it to boot up every time I want to use it so I just use the sleep option lol

[Byte]

I don't think my computer is ever shut down unless there's a power outage and I've had it for several years now, custom built myself. I do regularly reformat the entire system though.

[earthanimal]

for the most part i leave my computer running pretty much 24/7. i have a laptop so i close it and it hibernates under my bed. if it is moving particularly slowly, i will restart it, but verrrry rarely do i actually turn it off and leave it off for more than an hour.

[fallacy]

I usually do shut down, I find Hibernating and Sleep Mode to be useless imo, electricity still gets used and your pc just lags.

[Mardan]

I turn it on in the morning and off when I go to sleep.
I used to leave it on 24/7 but since I started sleeping closer to it I can't stand the fans if it's been running for a while.
Plus, everything on this side of the decade leaks memory like crazy, so it almost feels like a daily shut down is more of a requirement than a choice.

[Blue-tooth]

I am too impatient to wait for it to boot up every time I want to use it so I just use the sleep option lol

Can relate. XD

[Crow]

I haven an Acer laptop that I got in like 2012 and I've been using it ever since. I only shut down at the end of the day, and rather intermittently put it to sleep throughout the day when I'm done with it. So like I'll turn it on in the morning and do some stuff, then close it and let it "sleep" until I get back to it later. Then when I'm going to bed, I actually shut it down. My dad fixes computers/laptops and rebuilds them and stuff and has always told me that I should shut it down at least once a day. It's worked for me!

[Poem]

I turn off my computer whenever it gets too slow

[GRAYN]

I shut my laptop down whenever I'm not using it.

[Loval]

Wow looks like i should invest in a SSD! I shutdown every couple days or so, and hate that slow startup process!

[honeycomb]

I'll give my pc a good restart every few days - other than that it's on most of the time. I try to remember to shut it down if I know I won't be using it for more than a few hours, but I'm pretty forgetful.

[CTP02]

I shut PC down whenever I'm not using it.
It's like a rest for 6 hours or so.

i havent shut my pc down for years. like maybe 7 yuears id say. it goes to sleep here and there but thats it
