[Evil Marge]

I wonder where I could get a utility that records record uptime

I'm pretty sure the most I ran it straight on for; is about 2 weeks or so.

I have a question to all; how healthy is leaving it on for long periods of time?

I have 9 case fans and a total of 11 in all I believe. Volcano 9 running at max speed

 

[madmatt]

no affect whatsoever. look at servers across the world (including this one); they stay online for months straight without being rebooted. one of my servers has been online for 120 straight days without a reboot (and that's nothing).

 

[Nick M]

So you think it should be allright with my pc and it's life time, correct?

 

[U2Penn]

just out of curiosity....where can u look on ur system to see how long it has been up? i have XP. thanks much.

 

[madmatt]

Nick, it would work fine. Probably less strain if anything.

U2Penn, various programs provide this such as Norton Utilities (System Doctor), CoolMon, Samurize, among many others. To use Microsoft's built in tool, simply run CMD and type 'systeminfo.exe'

My laptop's sitting at about 3 days - but it gets hibernated for about 10 hours while I sleep, and it still ticks over whilst it' hibernated.

My Unix server (Sun SPARC5 turbo ) it sitting at about 8-9 months, but my friend's Unix machine is faduken 543 days!!!
