How often should I shut down my PC?

Hello

I hope you don't mind me asking this question. I could not help but to know, using PC (laptop) is part of daily life, it is sometimes more than 10 hours to continue to run my laptop. So much pressure on it. In general, I'm used to shut down my PC each night before going to sleep and start the next day morning. We know all that I have other options are available also as keep my PC in standby or hibernate instead of shutdown. Now my question is what is the best way to practice in order to keep my PC in good health? I should everyday practical shout down and start over or I can keep it dormant until a few days etc. Which is good for practice? My PC is HP 430.

Thank you

Kind regards

Hello

Check with the HP Support and their documentation online.

There are a lot of opinions, but I prefer the way that you do now. Start and stop

the computer frequently causes the device to heat and cool a lot which is more stress

on the material while leaving work. If you go for 2 + hours power on the monitor
off anyway so you should have white for any period of inactivity. Stop when
It will be on all night is also a good initiative.

  • How often should I plug my 2016 macbook pro?

    Just bought a macbook pro a few months after having been a user of HP laptop, I try to understand how to keep the stack "exercised."  When does not run CC Adobe, just browsing my fully charged battery in chrome and safari shows a life of 3 hours (which seems low for me).  I kept it plugged in most of the time for a few months, but someone told me it was bad.  So my question:

    1. how often should I plug it into my macbook?  I use about 11 hours a day, if that he'll need to be plugged in some of the time, but what is the best plug in/no plug in jacquard?

    2. when I stopped for the night, should I keep plugged, or unplug it?

    You can keep the MBP plugged in most of the time.  Load circuits will load to 100% and leave the battery to 95% maintenance before charging again.

    Mine is plugged into a large part of the time, but I use battery life up to 30-40% at least once a month.

    Use as needed... power off when it is mobile, but to plug several times during the day on top of the load.  Just don't run it less than 10% and certainly do not run it dead... both damage the battery.

  • How can I add "Shut down" as an option for the action of the Power button if it is not available

    How can I add "Shut down" as an option for the action of the Power button if it is not available.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question. Looks like you want to add shut down as an option for the power button.

    Visit this link and try the steps mentioned:

    There are two ways to change what happens when you press the power button on your computer. You can change what happens when you press the power button on your computer case (or the edge of your laptop) and you can change what happens when you press the close button in the start menu.

  • How to suspend, restart, shut down as default instead of Force *.

    I know it's strange, but I still see "Force Suspend, restart of strength and force Shut Down" when I click on the menu 'Virtual Machine' WITHOUT hold down the Option key.  This also affects the behavior when I set the preference 'when you close the virtual machine"to"Turn off the virtual machine", as he always does force stops instead of a graceful.  Note I can hold the Option key to Force * to go and make the soft stop, but that's all just annoying.

    So the question is, how can I make sure the normal shutdown of suspend, restart, are the default actions?

    My system is:

    Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual - Core Intel Xeon

    Mac OS X 10.5.8

    VMware Fusion 3.0.1 (215242)

    Windows XP SP3 VM (2 CPUs, 2048 MB RAM, 3D active)

    Thank you!

    The default power options are controlled by the .vmx powerType.* entries, and I think that they are also affected by the question of whether the tools are installed. You want the following lines:

    powerType.powerOff = "soft"
    powerType.powerOn = "soft"
    powerType.suspend = "soft"
    powerType.reset = "soft"
    

    (as opposed to the 'hard'). These should have been set this way automatically, but if you have imported the virtual machine from another source, they can be different.

    Note that if the client does not know how to properly manage power plants, that does not help.

  • How often should I back up my DB vCenter?

    What do people use out there for Vcenter DB Backup frequency?

    Depending on your environment, once a week is usually sufficient. If you feel that you need more protection or you want to keep the newspapers from tiny, daily should not cost much either, given the size of the DB.

  • Procurve switches update: should I shut down VMs on cluster that uses this switch?

    I've update the firmware on our Procurve switch soon. It need to restart this switch. Should I close all the virtual machines on the cluster that this switch is used to communicate to our SAN via iSCSI?

    I don't know that I made the question properly, then do not hesitate to ask for more information or clarification.

    You want to disable HA on the cluster to blow course because if you don't switch redundancy to your ESX hosts you will have a failover of working capital.  It would be advisable to stop or pause the VM as ise this switch for iSCSI storage access, however I did some tests on this and if no vm run they freeze literally just in time and as soon as the storage returns they pick up where they left off.  I have to admit that I am impressed by the way the VM manages connectivity lose to their storage.  That said you should technically their power off or suspend them.

  • If I buy a 12 month subscription, how often should I be connected to the internet?

    I've read conflicting reports.

    99 days?
    180 days?
    I have to check in every 30 days?

    If I'm off the grid when I'm prompted to renew my license I lose my apps?

    I searched the net for hours looking for a clear answer.

    Own Adobe's FAQ says:

    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and your applications to license, but you can use applications offline with a valid license. Desktop applications will try to validate your software licenses every 30 days.

    Annual members can use applications up to 99 days in offline mode. Months of members may use the software for 30 days in offline mode.

    that seems somewhat ambiguous. If I'm offline for 99 days and Adobe continually tries to contact me to validate my apps and can not my apps will still work?

    Thanks a lot for any clarity regarding that.

    with an annual subscription, you must be connected to turn on (to first install) and then at least once every 99 days.

    with a monthly subscription, you must be connected to turn on (to first install) and then at least once every 30 days.

    If you have an annual subscription, select and then disconnect from the internet, you can use your software for 99 days.  day 100 when you try to use your software, you will see a message saying that you must connect to the internet to continue using your subscription applications.  This prompt will give you the possibility to log in and connect to adobe.

    If you close this window without a signature, your cc app will not open.  If you sign in, you can then disconnect for another 99 days etc.

  • I can't close Firefox unless I have shut down the pc.

    I am running Firefox 5.0.1 on Windows XP. DSL. Often, he uses a ton of memory, so I go out. However, it continues to run under the 'process' in the Windows taskbar, not to release memory. Often, I actually shut down the pc. Turn it back on, I try to open Firefox, and sometimes I have to try more than once. It works very well for a while, sometimes a whole day! Yippee. I have installed and uninstalled. I ran every diagnosis I have, even a disc defrag without success. I've updated all my plugins. What can I do else?
