| 878060 | 2010-04-20 04:52:00 | Forgot to mention the server :blush: The server, running XP, is automatically shut down at 10pm each day and starts up again at 7am. The only reason it shuts down is to save power: if power wasn't an issue then I'd leave it on all the time. |

| 878062 | 2010-04-20 05:54:00 | 9 hours shouldn't do that... | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 878063 | 2010-04-20 05:56:00 | Laptop never gets turned off, probably rebooted once a week. Last week I gave it it's yearly dust clean out as it was starting to run a bit warm, amazing how much dust accumulates in the HS fins over a year. Grunter desktop only gets turned on when it's needed, which is probably 4 hours a day. Windows updates can occasionally frustrate me, no I don't want to reboot now or in 4 hours. net stop wuauserv is very useful... :p |

| 878064 | 2010-04-20 06:01:00 | 4 hours is plenty - generally it never interrupts me again :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 878065 | 2010-04-20 09:30:00 | Only reboot when Microsoft forces me to, otherwise always on. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 878066 | 2010-04-20 22:08:00 | I keep my laptop on, and standby when I am not using it. Only time I turn it off is like most people, for windows updates and every few months I open it up and clean it out. I live in a very dusty room. | Gangplank (15719) | ||
| 878067 | 2010-04-21 10:35:00 | A few times a day. Recently I been doing some power bills investigation. Not done the PC yet. But our CRT TV and Sky uses 0.2kW for the hour minus everything else. Bit surprised thou. Everything else means, you wake up before everyone else take a meter reading and go back 15mins and retake it, convert this to the 1hr. Recently only been using my computer when required, that might mean 1hr before bed time. Helps with my 3GB internet cap too. |

| 878068 | 2010-04-21 10:49:00 | My desktop goes on around 6pm when I get home from work and off at about 11:00 when I go to bed. When I had a server (now don't have room for it :() it stayed on 24/7. |
