Actually, the logic in this argument may sound illogical at first. You will greatly improve the maintenance and life of your system if you leave it on forever without once turning the “off switch.” You rarely turn off and unplug most of the electrical appliances at home, what makes the pc any different?

This is something we learned in first year of electronics engineering masters degree studies and it surprised everyone, until we did the complicated electrical energy equations proving our professor’s argument for the homework.

It takes a huge amount of electrical energy to turn on a well-loaded computer with many energy-eating programs that demand huge amounts more of electrical energy. And it takes an equally huge amount of electrical energy to power down your running processes and finally probably the largest spike in electrical energy to turn off your well-loaded system. The system’s hardware sincerely “dislikes” all of these maximum high electrical hits each time we turn on and turn off our systems.

The smart move when you’re leaving for the day is to power down all your running processes and log off of Windows; then, you should turn your monitor off; then, leave your system in that constant, low-power consumption state which your hardware loves until you’re ready to use it again.

You avoid the two largest spikes in electrical energy that wear and tear away at your hardware that way - turning it “on” and “off” is the single, most stressful experience on your hardware and should be avoided whenever possible.

Happy Computing!

The article is very good. One should turn of the PC when it’s not used. If you are not turning that completely off, at least one should form the habit of turning off the monitor. This will really help to save the energy, its not about billing stuff, but its about energy. And most important thing is that to maintain electronic items like PC or television and so on.

Actually, I have found an answer to the energy problem. When I let my computer run, two mice run on a treadmill, and everything is fine.

JD is correct.
ask anyone … with a few marbles to play with who work with electricity. better, a computer geek… one of my brothers for instance.
like a car: it runs less gas to idle than it does to start it again. common sence material if you ask me. but you didnt. but JD is right. want your machine to purr from the comfort of good tlc? put it to sleep or something…anything but off and on off and on…cpu’s have their limits…but they DO power down when not in use…so, JD is right…did i say JD is right? I think i may have…
take me to your linker: i laughed at an empty room at your mice….ty laughter is grand medicine.
happiest of holidays, and a better 09 than 08….
