For those who run their computers 24/7 and are running winXP what are your average uptimes before things get sluggish and you decide to reboot??? Also if you could post any settings or programs you use to alter the default installed settings and how much ram you have it would be appreciated, thx.

On my desktop, roughly a week. On my laptop, i wouldnt know. I havent left it on for more than a day yet

ive left mine up for almost 30 days once without restarting
and i boot up in around 13 seconds

For my computer it is about a week. This is usually when I have to reboot for a MS patch, or some game or program requires a reboot. I have gone as long as 3 weeks though. I keep RC5 cracking all day and night, then just some smaller things running. I have 512 megs ram.

hasn't happened yet
i had to reboot this box for some software installation a couple days ago, my other XP box has 8 days+ with no problems, i haven't noticed a need to do that in XP (unlike win98), can't really say i noticed a need to reboot W2K for "sluggishness" either

I havent shutdown or restarted my XP box since the day I installed the OS. I am going on 53 days now.

I was up for almost 2 hours once, although I really dont see the relevance to Windows XP.

I always shut down my machine at night, its wayyyyyy too loud, I can hear it through my room.

I got my server running XP and I reboot it every 30 days, and that's only because i download all the latest updates and it requires me to reboot after.

Also I always have programs like direct connect and hotline running on the server downloading stuff and it never crashes.

Same here

Why do people care about how long they can run their computer before rebooting? It's not like it hurts it to reboot.

I run W2K Pro, and leave mine running the majority of the time, just for convenience. I shut it down when the mood strikes me, or I need to.


As long as it doesn't lock up all the time and MAKE me reboot it, I'm happy.
