Leaving the PC open for many days

Leaving the PC open for many days

My answer is definitely, NO. It’s not just because of it’s a waste of energy but there are also some technical reasons why you should turn off your computer when you are not going to use it.

1.       I know there are times that you install new devices or programs or delete some programs or files in your computer and it won’t take effect not unless you restart your computer.

2.       All programs you have in your computer need an amount of memory to do it’s tasks and that is not available again until the program is closed. Again, what I meant about turning your computer off is actually leaving it for minutes or even hours.

3.       As we all know, computer uses air to cool itself down. So it means that It includes dust or any small particles to be inside your computer thus it may add to the heat buildup which may lead to overheating.

I hope this finds you well.

It is not advisable to do that. When you leave the PC open for that long time, then  it will not be able to cool down. You need to shut down your system for some time for the following reasons:

• To let the system refresh, otherwise it will be overworked and end up being slow in carrying out the processes that you may need to handle.
• The system components like the fan, the power unit and others need to cool down. Otherwise these components may be overworked and some of them end up overheating and thus affecting the system performance.

It is just a good maintenance practice to let your computer system rest for a while, and that will make it last for a long time without many problems that will need frequent repairs.
