How long since you rebooted?

[live4spd]

Well my exchange server at work has been up for 103 days!! (knock on wood)

At home I have a webserver / proxy server that's been up for 45 some days.

3 days, 10 hours.

I was up to a week once but something was hogging memory (it's usually under 150 MB and by this time it was over 330 mb!) Then I made the mistake of asking someone to Timbuktu in to look at something, and it froze!

Windows 2000 is off the hook!

 

I shutdown every night. There is really no reason to leave the PC on all the time other than to brag about uptime. Win2k need a reboot almost every time I change system settings (which is often) anyway, so uptime means nothing to me.

Why stress my system to save the one minute it takes to boot?

 

[jaggrey]

Actually when I was on the phone with Microsoft sometime ago (they were helping me with a problem I had for Win2k) he said that their goal is for people to never have to reboot, ever. Windows 2000 was a step in the right direction.

I also remember reading an article sometime ago talking about how many copies of Win2k had been sold. In the article they mentioned that some corporations had theirs running for about 6 months without a reboot, and they're still goin.

at home every day.. I shut down at night.. 4 80mm fans, 1 cpu fan, and psu fan in one box, do not a lulaby(sp) make.

at work.. the email/db solaris(on sparc) boxes I run in my upstairs server room have been up for about 150 days.. and if it were not for pg&e replacing a transformer late last year, they would be well into a year by now.

All my comps can stay up indefinitely. At work Win98SE goes for weeks or months before I happen to reboot (usually when I install some software). At home I shut down Win95 everytime I finish computing, but I feel confident that it could stay up for years on end if I left it.

I feel it in my bones!!

I've been rebooting my 98SE machine a couple times a day here.. but I've been playing with the multiplier, ram and stuff.. I'm about to turn it off to put in a shroud.. Um.. I have a p75 w/20 megs of ram.. that's been up since.. uh.. last year some time.. LINUX RULES!!!! .. it's a server. <edit> sorry, my dad blew a fuse in january some time, that downed it for a bit</edit>

PPro 200 on Intel Venus 440FX mobo with 96mb RAM...running surprise surprise Windows 98SE.

Had to reboot to remove FunLove virus.

 

[HannibalX]

About a month running NT 5.0 Pro

 

[rANGER11]

well linux machine ~45 days uptime / win2k - whenever some prog crashes prolly about 15-20 min ago =[

Once a day (I kill it at night). I use WinME and can't complain (I seem to be in the minority). I also use win 2k and it is equally stable. If your system is crash happy, go get real hardware and throw all that generic crap in the trash! If you do and its still buggy, get tech support for the hardware you do have and get them to fix the crap! The extra money you will spend is worth the trouble. There are few things that bother me more than people complaining about system failure and then having them tell me that they have 192MB consisting of three mix matched 64mb generic pc100/pc133 ram sticks, or some crappy MB, or both. Oh yea... I have this nitro abacus running overclocked to 1zillion GHz, but it crashes all the time? damn Microsoft? blah, blah, blah? my rant is over? you can go now.

 

[Redwingsguy]

havent rebooted in a week or 2? lost count,win98 SE TOO! too poor for win2k and too lazy to warez it
BTW: wheres the poll?

 

[bluegi]

about 30mins ago to put some memory in...seems faster now running winXP

 

[Methusela]

47 days 3 hours 57 minutes and 30 seconds (as of the second i hit the &quot;reply&quot; button)

Win2k is ownage when coupled with memturbo.

 

[Methusela]

Heh, that's on a dual cel366@550 bp6 system that's running stock intel retail celeron fans (they make 0db noise ) with no case fans

 

[aerialcombat]

Is this like a braggin place? &quot;How long can your PC go without having to reboot?&quot;

What the heck. I think the PC needs to be booted once in a while. webservers and such reboot at least every week. And personally I reboot my computer daily cuz I turn it off when I goto sleep. Doesn't the sound of your fan bother you? I mean, it's not that loud, but you can still here it when the world is all quiet at night.

As for answer to the question... an hours ago.

My main system usually gets shut down before I hit the rack early in the morning. The Server though goes 24/7 and with Win 2k has been up almost 2 months now. It would have been longer but we had a bad Thunderstorm go through and I shut all my stuff down. My other system that cracks RC5 day and night running NT has been up 2 months without a hitch. I took it down tonight to install Mandrake Linux on it Dual Boot with NT. It's back up and cracking. Both it and the Server running Win 2k never seems to crash.
