Is there such a thing as a "warm up period" for computers?

You mean like a diesel engine?

Nope :D

No, but if you're running Windows and not careful.. it will do the opposite of warming up. :)

I suppose. But its only a few (maybe 4 or 5) seconds long from pressing the power button. It takes a few seconds for the hard drive platters to spin at maximum speed. Thats about it.
