I suspect putting one of my PC's into hibernate (always) for the past two years had something to do with the data/hard drive corruption I just dealt with.
 
i never shut off the computer unless i am gonna be away overnight.

i do not have a screen saver either. But I turn off the monitor every time get up from the computer.

actually, that involves more work because you have to unplug it, then bring it to the bathtub, then plug it in, fill the tub with water and then electrocute yoursefl. sounds like a plan.

FYI - Hitting the power button on an XP machine does the exact same thing, without the steps.

FYI hitting the power button actually takes more effort and bending.

Your turn.
 
Roll it down the stairs. 😛

I'd hibernate if I could, but this damn PCI vid card prevents that 🙁

I know and thank you. I'd really like to build a SFF computer on my desk next to the LCD.
