    Could my computer handle being on overnight

    Alright I have a compaq Presario pc its a lower end gaming pc but it works fine no viruses or errors to complain about just display driver errors but I heard that was normal for vista. OK onto the point do you think it is safe/wise to leave my computer on overnight it will have only been on about 15 hours and I will shut it down for 5 or so it will only be running rs bot nothing else ALSO Em not asking if I will be banned im asking if it is a wise decision or could it damage my pc thank you sorry for the gramma :laugh:

    It's perfectly fine on all night! Atleast I think so. Mine is on for probably a week without shutting down. And if it is shut down once it's only for like 5 minutes 0.0 my computer goes through hell.

    lol, no hard done unless you have crappy cooling. I have had my system on for weeks and weeks at a time, it rarely ever shuts down, works fine.

    Have you installed the overnight heat-preserver? If not, you could be losing money on the 15-80.

    Yes, computers are actually built to run 24/7 (as long as theres nothing wrong with the fans/cooling to keep it from overheating).

    Computers should never need to be turned off, nor do they need overnight heat preservers, whatever the hell they are. So don't worry :idea:

    A. You will not be banned.

    B. I havent shut my laptop down until it seriously crashes, So it was once on for... 4 weeks? Your fine overnighting, aslong as you make it so it can cool down properly. If it overheats, that might be a problem. You should shut the screen, and flip it upside down.
