is it ok if you can leave ur computer on?

What Happens if you leave your PC on all night


I'VE OFTEN BEEN ASKED IF YOU SHOULD LEAVE YOUR
COMPUTER TURNED ON DURING THE NIGHT.
I WAS ABLE TO SET UP A SCREEN CAPTURE LAST NIGHT
AND SETTLE THE ISSUE ONCE & FOR ALL.

WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR PC ON OVER NITE.

Hello:
I must have watched this a zillion times yesterday and I cannot remember what the intro and exit said, it gave some publishing something. The link has disappeared much to the disappointment of several people I passed it on to. If I could remember what that publishing was, I could maybe 'google' it and find another link to it. So anyone remember?????

Computer on/off has been argued since Moses was a little fella. Rule of thumb is if you are away for 90 mins or more , shut it down.Going to bed for the night , shut it down ( yes this means you as well mobo ).

Not too many years ago the rule was to limit shutdowns/start-ups as components were more inclined to fail during on/offs while performing at their max and rated to fail during hundreds of doing so. Todays components are rated for the thousands so on/offs are not a worry any more.
