When you replace the constantly left on computer you will change your mind. Run one of them all the time and the other in the manor I suggest. The computers that are turned off at night when they are not needed to perform a task always out last the ones left on all the time. I have seen many identical machines where the only difference between them is how much they are left on. So the more they are on the more wear and tear they get and the sooner they break. Otherwise … the primary reason all mechanical and electrical parts wear out is because they are used. Pretty much the only thing I can agree with in this article is that optical drives don’t spin while the computer is on unless they are being used. Combat this with filters and blow the dust out of the case once in a while. The more you have them on the most dust builds up on them and the more dust the pull into the computer through vents and cracks. However if they’re old and clogged up with dirt (including the dirt you can’t see or clean out), one day they simply won’t spin up from a cold start at all.”įans accumulate dust because they are used. If the fans stay spinning they will continue to do so almost indefinitely. This adds weight to the fan blades and can also dry out the bearing(s). “Fans accumulate dust whether you want them to or not. In my experience “disk not found” is as likely to happen on a reboot as it is on a cold boot.Ģ. While this is true most people do not start their computers up very many times a day. When spinning they don’t have to work as hard.” and “It’s a good bet if you’ve ever seen a hard drive failure, it probably happened from a “cold” start, then the infamous “disk not found” message appeared.” “Continually rotating parts in a computer are fans and hard drives (on the inside), and the most “grunt” needed is when they spin up from an absolute stop. It never fails to amaze me when people think leaving a mechanical/electrical device on all the time is good for it.ġ. We work on name brand computers as well as build custom boxes. I own a computer repair business so run into this issue a lot with people. You can set them to use as little or as much CPU power as you want, and your results will benefit all mankind!Īfter getting an email informing me there was a new post to this thread I read it again and have decided to make a longer post.

LEAVE COMPUTER ON ALL NIGHT SCREEN BURN PC
If you still want your PC to do something useful while it’s idle, get it to run one of the many apps out there like ClimatePrediction,, World Community Grid programs, etc.

LEAVE COMPUTER ON ALL NIGHT SCREEN BURN FREE
I use a free little program called ‘SpeedFan’ to monitor all my fan speeds, hard drive temp, ambient and core temps – this helps me check to see if there’s any over-heating, and it also eases my mind a little. So while I am still not entirely comfortable with leaving it on for days, I think that might be the best option. I suppose that happens to electrical devices, too, sooner or later. Eventually the rocks can’t take any more and fall apart. This whole discussion reminds me of those big rocks you see in the desert which, over time, have split and broken apart because of eons of expanding in the daytime heat, and contracting in the night time cold. What this treatment is doing to my 2-year old high-spec dual-core machine I cannot tell, but it runs fine, purrs like a kitten. Sometimes I turn the PC off sometimes I leave it running for days.
