Is it best to leave a PC ON or OFF when not in use?
I have heard arguments for both ways. Some say that leaving the PC on is better for the hard drive, and some argue that leaving the PC on all the time is a fire hazard. I agree with both sides, but I tend to lean towards leaving the PC on all of the time.
When I leave my PC on all the time, it is ready to go when I need it. I use it throughout the day, and sometimes I wake up at night with an idea and begin researching immediately. I do not like to wait for the PC to boot up when I get the urge to research. Also, I feel that it is better for the hard drive if the PC is left on. That way the hard drive is not subjected to drastic temperature changes.
