Turn Off Your Computer Every Night, Here's Why
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- You probably heard that turning off your computer for the night can be harmful to it. But you must’ve also heard the conflicting point of view: that you actually should turn it off when not using it for long. So what’s the right thing to do then?
The belief that your desktop should work all the time comes from the dawn of the computer era - the 1980s. Back then, computers were made of different materials, and frequently turning them off and back on could potentially damage them. But what about now?

SUMMARY:
- When you turn on your computer, it triggers a little power surge that creates some stress on the system.
- Modern computers, be it laptops, desktops, or tablets, are specially designed not to be turned completely off.
- Many of the computer parts have moving parts of their own, and they need time to get up to speed.
- When you shut down your device, it first closes all the programs running on it for all users.
- There are several things you can do as well: they are hibernation and sleep mode.
- Both of them allow you to leave your computer on and save your work while reducing energy consumption.
- Sleep mode conserves energy a bit worse than hibernation, but it allows your computer to start up almost immediately.
- Hibernation is a deeper sleep mode that doesn’t use any energy at all, just like when you shut it down, but takes more time to shake off.
- On Windows 10, you can only use sleep mode by default, and to add hibernation you’ll need to open the taskbar and type power options.
- On Mac, you’ll have a different default mode for desktop and portable computers: sleep mode for desktops, and hibernation for laptops.
- On Mac laptops, there’s also an option to enter a standby mode. The device will automatically enter this state after three hours of sleeping if there’s nothing connected to it, including the charger.
- But keeping your data safe while your computer is on is tricky because there can be power surges or outages.
- Make sure to buy a UPS, or uninterruptible power supply, to save you from headache in case of a power outage.
- It’s a device that will provide an emergency power load to your computer if the mains power suddenly isn’t there for some reason.

If you leave your PC on all the time, It's a good idea to restart your computer from time to time, which can fix Windows problems and clear memory.
usually i leave it 24/24 or put it to sleep. i restart it every 7 days and it had no problems for 3 years.
@MacCraker wait wheres the problem he never assumed you are using windows
@MacCraker linwho?
I've tried linux before, it seems way better than windows. I'd like to try that some how ?
@MacCraker we need to get Linux spray. You know, it’s like big spray but in this case it keeps the pesty annoying and no one likes Linux users away from us
"You heard that turning off your computer for the night can be harmful for it"
for the 25 years ive been alive and the 21 years of remembering my life i never heard anyone say this
The only way you can know if your computer has failed is to turn it on, but if it fails to boot, you don't know whether there was a hardware failure when you turned it off or when you turned it on, but either way, if you'd never turned it off, it would most likely still be working now.
Weird, I have heard this most of my life.
@@grandpaobvious nah u wrong
If you want maximum efficiency from your pc specifically a gaming one, use task manager to close all apps and make sure they are closed then use sleep that way you dont get the power surge and you arent using any ram
Well I do that but I do not close Minecraft
Your unit will still use ram for your OS though
"You might have heard that turning off your computer is harmful"
No one ever: turning off your computer is harmful
Thomass hello it was common with computers years ago
I though letting it run was harmfull 😂
@Thomas hello - serious question: should unplug your modem too? It's in another room, my bedroom and from I've read, is too close for comfort.

I heard it’s better to leave a computer running constantly with a HDD. It is easier on it to keep running than to turn it off and start it up again. A hard drive only has so much spin-ups until it can fail. This is why some office buildings or other places leave them on 24/7 and can last much longer that way/
I’ve heard that too and that’s my excuse for forgetting to turn off my pc.
One can set HHD to never turn off
Happy new year to everyone who are part my journey! Tqu so much guys! love you ❤
One reason for turning off modern computers is similar to the reason for storing data on external devices: You don't necessarily want everything to be connected to the network 100% of the time for security reasons. Also, if there is a lightning storm, make sure your computer is turned off and unplugged, and have a good surge protector as well. Another reason to store data on external drives that also works for cloud storage: Data backup. NOTE: This does not work for Windows programs and apps because they also have Windows registry entries that do not transfer easily if something happens to your main computer.
Hope u have a happy new year for anyone reading I just want u to know u are all loved 💜💜💜😁😁

my classmate who uses her laptop for homework. always has put it to sleep and leaves it like that. I kept saying just shut it down. but she was like no ot takes to long to open back up ..
by doing this she ruined her laptops battery and few weeks later her laptop broke completely... cuz she never turned it off for a whole school year .
Sleep mode is useful on the macbooks
One recommendation I have for smart phone users is to go into your settings and set a auto phone off/phone on schedule.
It minimizes certain charging issues if you charge when you sleep and lets the processors rest.
My phone still runs great after two years and the batteries last days for general use.
Nah... I'm the owner of the phone I decided to let it be turned on(forever), and I restart it every week or so
And who will enter device encryption password and SIM PIN code after such restart?
@@alexanderwhite8320 my guess would be whoever owns the phone. What's your point?
Welp it’s New Years hope everyone is happy and remember spend time with your elders cause they don’t last forever
If you get the right kind of UPS for your desktop, they often include software that you can install and a USB cable that will connect your UPS to your computer. The software can shout your computer off safely if you UPS is about to run out of power. It also gives you a way to monitor the power feeding your computer as well as different options that you can adjust to change the behavior of the UPS. I have one on mine that has a setting that I can either have the computer stays on as long as possible before shutting down or I can change the setting to safely turn off the computer if the power is off for more than 5 minutes. Most have a setting you can change the time. It also keeps a log of the power outages and how long the power was off. Most of these devices have an audible sound that occurs when the device switches to battery. You can set quiet times or even disable the audible alarm through the interface. I usually leave mine on all the time because I have my computers set to receive their automatic updates during my off times like when I'm in bed. All of my computers run Windows 10. My computers receive these updates too. But I have my computers set to restart themselves during the morning hours when I'm sleeping. If you do leave your computer on all of the time, restarting you computer at least once a week will help purge the memory as well.
Back in the 90s on IRC we used to flex our system uptime, especially if someone jumped on a server with years of uptime. These days I turn my PC off at night, unless I am specifically leaving it to run tasks while I am sleeping.
HAPPY NEW YEAR❤ I HOPE I COULD LEARN MORE WITH THIS CHANEL❤ THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF MY LIFE❤
happy 2020 bright side and to everyone else reading this!
oof
I come from the future... 2020 is not going to be happy... trust me
I say do both and go to sleep, however do a shutdown every 1-2 months to let it clean itself out.
1. Press Windows Key + R
2. Type "shutdown -h" and press Enter
This will hibernate your Windows system immediately.
or just click the hibernate button
I don't have hibernation button only shut down, restart and sleep
@@KIKO00752 You can enable it in settings
But... I didn't know this. I turn my laptop off everyday. My laptop is more than 6 years old
Yeah...
Kk
My laptop is more than 10 yrs old...it's rlly old but it still work properly :)
From a purely mechanical point of view it is not a good idea to leave your computer, especially a laptop, on all the time. Computers when powered on have fans inside which regulate temperatures to critical components such as the CPU and GPU. Fans draw in air and also dust which accumilate's on the fans themselves, reducing efficiency, and also on the heat sink of the components which need to be cooled and will eventually lead to a complete system failure and a very expensive repair bill - if a repair is even possible. As in the case of many Apple products. Some high end systems such as data servers are specifically designed to run 24/7 in an environment where they are also monitored 24/7. The average computer is not designed that way,
I love everyone who comments on this Chanel . I want to meet all of you and give you all a big hug. Happy 2020.

Great! So let's arrange a meeting!

Just think, it has been 20 years since the big Y2K scare.
Tf is Y2K heard that on family guy when I was 6
@@PlatCrusty i think back in 1999 people freaked out and thought it was the end of the world just because computers back then didn't support the 2000s on their calendars.
That's Y2K in a nutshell.
Happy new year! And the only thing i learned was the hibernation mode :p
Mine is always on sleep whenever I don't use it, I only restart it when I start noticing it's getting slow. I only shut it down when I know I am not gonna use it for days. I have been doing this for so so many years, no problems, all is Gucci.
Hi, did yo unplug your computer when not in used?
7:00: Some UPS's have software that will communicate with the computer and shut down the computer if power is not restored within a specified period (or when the UPS has a specified amount of power left).
Or If you configure it in a way It Hibernates the computers which is the best choice in case of a sudden power outage.
I never turn mine off unless I am going to be gone for vacation or if we are expecting a tropical storm. During that time here in FL we have wicked lightening and that is NOT a good thing. My toy is tickin' along just fine doing this.
It is like your body you sleep and you take time to get out of bed.

Suspend doesn't move anything, it's already there. Also, on windows at very least, it is actually called hybrid sleep (it copies ram to disk, then goes to sleep, so if power is lost, it can still be resumed)

Well as a computer technician it's better on your HDD as keeping it warm is less likely to have HDD failure. When the HDD is cold it's more likely to fail when having to reboot when cold.
Better what, on or off?
@@thenatural6249 better left on or in sleep mode as it keeps the hdd warm.
@@denodan thanks 👍
I have my computer on but i turn it off every morning, i have a I5-9400 and a 1660, also a 600W or a 650W, so will it work?
@@hamdovodokupaonik626 without doing the research could not tell you, been out of touch with computers in such a long time, and things have moved on a lot, so we'll out of touch with latest gear
Engineers have taken note of how inconvenient it is to close all the apps you have running, save and close all your work, and shutdown only to wait until the device boots when you switch it back on again.
I have been keeping my computer on 24/7
my laptop 3 years old ,it stays on all the time including the display.only time it gets restarted during updates.i never had any issues.
Hibernate and sleep options on windows are there for a reason
*Happy New Year*
If I shut down the computer every night how can I watch Bright Side at night?
I shut down every night. At least once a week I do a restart which really cleans up any garbage left behind. I run a Glary Utilities once a week and I have zero issues with any of my 3 computers.
Such an amazing information by the end of this 2019.
this dude: turn off your computer every night

When you are so early that you can't find a comment relevant to content
I don't want 2019 to end :((
It is fairly true that constantly switching off and on electronics stress the components, or at least it used to be. Not sure with modern electronics
I put it in sleep mode and shut it down once a week.
Next Video: Why you should never blink
I use Linux. I never shut down the machine. You don't need to shut them down as the OS is designed to run indefinitely. There's been times my desktop machine has accumulated a period of 3-4 months of uptime between reboots and it will play steam games, movies, file serving and editing. I also have a laptop near top-of-the-line, but that one I do reboot all the time. Shutdown or not, it's not as big a deal with Linux.
Which software is used by bright side for making videos??🤔
I have windows 10 pro with ssd. If I put my computer in sleep or hibernation mode it will "go to sleep" as you would expect, BUT when you press a key or move the mouse, the computer and fans come on but windows will not boot up. You can't press the power button to shut it down either. It does absolutely nothing. You have to turn off the power at the power supply, and then it may or may not boot up. The fans come on but there is no "bios beep". The only way I've found to get it to boot up again is to unplug everything including the mouse, keyboard or any other usb device.
However, if I do a normal shutdown or restart it boots up in 4 seconds with absolutely no problem at all. It's only when I use sleep or hibernation mode I have problems with windows won't boot and the power button won't function. Figure that one out.
Brand new build 3060 i710700 has the same issue as my old build 660 i74770 no parts shared both do not boot half the time although my fans spin and my keyboard gets lit up but does not boot, I run a designated 20amp power outlet directly connected to my pc and have had an electrician test and show my outlet puts out enough watts

Sometimes i just hybernate my computer , or put it to sleep. Sometimes computers fails to wake from hybernation.
We've been turning them off everytime at night when we go to bed
Im leaving it overnight
this is how you make you bills sky rocketing
nice music... not at all distracting
*who else is waiting for 2020* ?
Helo I am from future.. And please dont wait for 2020. U r gonna regret it...
Hibernation does not keep your computer on. It turns your computer off and saves your session to the memory/RAM. Once you turn it on again, it will restore your session.

Perhaps we can shut it off when we leave the home and go out and keep it running while we are at home
Ah! This answer so many questions from work! Thanks!
A computer technician's busiest time is a Monday morning: People go into work after the weekend and find someone's switched off their computer. When they switched it back on it doesn't work. A lot of faults occur when you cut the power to a computer, even if you allow it to shut down correctly. A daily reboot usually clears any residual memory corruptions; although it is good to perform software maintenance at least monthly, weekly if at all possible, and daily doesn't hurt.
Is it safe to turn off the PC physically by inbuilt power button ??
My sister has a Chromebook and she would often get problems with it after a few weeks of simply setting it to 'Sleep' by closing the lid on the computer. I showed her how to find and press the 'POWER OFF' button on her Chromebook and simply turning the computer 100% off every now and then totally got rid of all of the problems she was having with her computer. The same thing for her Router, I showed her how when it was having problems that simply turning it off, waiting 10 minutes, and then turning it back on, would get rid of the 'static electrical charges' that were causing the problems in the thing. Just turning an electronic device off, waiting 10 minutes, then turning it back on, would often solve problems that device was having.
