My PS3 Slim can take up to 15 seconds to turn off. My PC will be off well within that time... unless there's updates, but that's no fair.Stevo_the_gamer

What did Sony do to it!? OR what did you do to it!? :o

The fastest road is often not the best road, young grasshopper :P

Don't tell them that!

If you're turning off your computer you're doing it wrong. Turning off and on your computer costs you more over the long run. The innitial boot up costs in power exceed the idled use of the computer over the night in sleep mode or something. It also adds more wear and tear on your parts. Vandalvideo

get an SSD drive and windows will boot up pretty damn fast

That's one of the most mature posts I've ever read in SW. Good job.

[QUOTE="Nerkcon"] I'm thinking the same thing but I have two questions: 1. Are stand-by and sleep the same thing? 2. My parents are so computer illiterate, how am I going explain to them leaving my PC on 24/7 is better for it and consumes less money?Vandalvideo

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="funsohng"] yeah but my pc is making train sounds when i leave it on sometimes. gotta change the power supplyfunsohng

Well, that certainly has nothing to do with it... my current PC is like 5 or 6 y.o. and I turn it off every night when I go to sleep.

But it's a Sony Vaio... IT SHOWS HOW MUCH SONY WINS!!!

Turning it off at the wall is no where near as manly as just pulling the cable out the back.

Thats manly, but i fear his computer may still be turned on, hes only solved a small part of the problem here, but its a good way to go about it.

[QUOTE="funsohng"][QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] That was probably instigated by your previous attempts to turn it off. See what happens when you turn a PC off is that it cools down and the parts contract. When you turn it back on the parts heat up and expand. Repeated use of this every single day maybe multiple times a day can have serious effects on your hardware. It also spikes your energy bill. Also, I'm not surprised that console fans haven't heard of this even though it is a huge debate in the PC community; to turn off or not to turn off that is the question. GreenGoblin2099
