What is the longest you have not switched OFF your PC

[phantom309]

There are NT boxes on our network at work that have been up for over a year.

 

[Ilmater]

I DEMAND A POLL!


Months at a time... no idea how long the longest was, but I'd say it was close to 6 months or more.

 

[conjur]

Couple of years on some servers I used to have.

 

[Kelemvor]

Once I get everything moved to my new HTPC I'm planning on leaving it on all the time. XP Pro SP1 with only a handful of programs on it. As of right now, probably a week or two when downloading some gigantic file from a slow ass server.

 

[Amused]

Few weeks to a few months. Most Windows Updates require a restart. So that's when it gets rebooted.

Otherwise it stays on all the time.

 

[So]

Two weeks, if you count restarts. If you DON'T count restarts, then ~6 months. (Each semester )

 

[Albis]

i've gone 10 days with win xp sp 1 back in the day

 

[Swag1138]

Not counting restarts, this computer never ever goes off. It's been on solid since I moved in to this apartment, 3 years ago.

But straight uptime, probably a couple months.

 

[WiseOldDude]

180+ days and counting, Dell SC420, running weahter station software and updating webpage and WeatherUnderground every 5 minutes. Also used as file server on home network.

 

[pulse8]

~40 days or so without a restart

 

[Leper Messiah]

whats the command prompt command for the time function. My memory is the suck.

 

[jjones]

I turn it off every night.

 

[toekramp]

my linux box is @ 80 days plus (which was the original install)

 

[CrazyDe1]

22 days so far. It usually lasts about that and then something goes wrong with outlook being able to apply rules then I restart.

It's a laptop that gets transported to and from work all the time...

 

[DrPizza]

At school, I only reboot when windows crashes.
At home, I gave up. I hate dial up. So, it's usually off.

 

[imthebadguy]

i was at ~50 days without a restart at one point, but the pc has been powered on for 9mo. straight now, befor that it was only disconnected dring moving

 

[AdamSnow]

29 days, 24 minutes for my work laptop.

I was up to 3 months with my one PC before I started having hardware problems... It was inevitable it would go down soon anyway due to storm season coming... my UPS wouldnt keep it alive for more then 15 minutes...

 

[SilverTorch]

damn close to a year running W2K on my old box.

 

[BurnItDwn]

My server's record uptime was 229 days. (Mandrake Linux)
I shut it down when I added a few more hard drives, and also, When I moved.

My Laptop's record is about 180 days. (Windows 2000)

My Gaming PC/Everyday usage PC record is about 2 months (Windows 2000)

what's this "uptime program" seems pretty good one with so much statistics

you run it from the command prompt, typing uptime /a

i'm not sure where you can actually download it, but search for uptime.exe and you shall find.

otherwise, i'll figure out where to put it.

 

[FrustratedUser]

A few months.

 

[KarenMarie]

eleventy billion nano-seconds

 

[cjgallen]
