Hello,

 

I hope you don't mind asking this question. I just could not prevent but to know, using PC(laptop) is a part of daily life, sometimes it is more than 10 hrs need keep running a day. So lot of stress on it. Generally I am used to shut down my PC each day night before sleep and start fresh next day morning. As we all know I have some other options available like keep my PC in sleep or hibernation instead of shutdown. Now my question is what is the best way practice in order to keep my PC in good health? Should I everyday shout down and start fresh as said above or I can keep it in sleep for couple of days etc. Which is good to practice? My PC is HP 430.

 

Thanks,

 

Regards,

Cyberkhan

No book, no rules.  I myself shut down machines before going to bed.
