Do you ever turn off your computer?

Yes... except if I have to download something.

Depends. If I am downloading a big arse game so I can play it the next day, then I leave it on. Otherwise, I turn it off. Whether turning it off harms it, idk. What I believe is that leaving it on likely increases your electricity bill. Don't quote me on anything, I just speculate.

nope, never.

I leave it on 24/7, mostly.

I turn it off only if I'm leaving for a few days, and I usually only reset it if an update forces me to.

Between the excessive heat, light, and noise, I turn mine off when I go to bed :p

Eh, I never shut mine off completely, I just put it in hibernation mode when I go to sleep. Which is totally different.

I think I did that because a game was being weird though. Otherwise, I might go for months without a restart.

zzzzz sleepy pc every time I do ^_^

TIL that restarting the PC damages it.

Every single night

Yeah, I turn it off.

nop never! 24/7/365
my personal best 18 days without even restarting! :P

Yes and that makes no sense. Also why waste that electricity, we have to care a little for the earth right?

I turn it off when I don't use it. Computers do consume a surprising amount of power, though less when idle.

It's not true that leaving it on would damage it less. Consumer-grade components have power saving features, which basically means they power themselves down completely or "throttle" power regularly (source: IT pros). Unless something else damages them, they will outlive their usefulness.

I turn it off when going to bed unless I'm downloading a big game.

NO.

well in past 2 years I switched it maybe 10 times, and it was due to holiday or software update, my PC is quiet and got solar panels in my house so don't pay electricity bills, although I putting it in sleep mode if I don't need it.

PC's are designed to be turned on and off, and should survive that for years. You shouldn't worry about turning a PC on/off once a day. You'll save a little bit of electricity turning your PC off.

Yeah, burn the rainforests and boil the ocean too, because who cares where our grandchildren will live! So many idiots lives on this planet.

Oh the perks of living with your parents. You or actually your parents will end up paying more if you leave it on, even if your computer dies, which will most likely won't happen, it would be cheaper to buy the part that died.

yes

Well if you crap money or do something useful with it (rendering, folding, etc.), sure you can leave it on from the moment you got it to the end of time. But otherwise, what would be the point if letting it idle? Just for the lulz? It's not that hard to press the shutdown button.

Only when I go to school.
