I restart mine once a day as the wi-fi drivers tend to give out at the end of a day. My motherboard's ethernet connector is damaged, but I haven't bothered soldering in a new one as I have a new system build planned over the coming year. So I'm stuck with a wireless connection for now.

But apart from that daily restart, I leave it running overnight as a friend wants me to render his videos for him (no idea why he doesn't do it himself). 

I used to leave the system in sleep mode occasionally, but sometimes my wi-fi drivers would fail to load and I'd end up restarting anyways because of it.

 

I had another system that ran 24/7 since roughly 2010 and the power supply managed to last 5 1/2 years. Which I was surprised by as it was a $60 750 watt unit ($40 with the rebate), and wasn't 80Plus rated. One of the caps ended up giving out on it, the system (i7 3770K and GTX 460) was fine. The power supply was going to be replaced at some point, anyways. It wasn't a modular design and there were quite a few unused cables. The new power supply was a 750 watt unit from Corsair (forgot the exact model), and at least this time it was 80Plus rated!

Wow, technology abuse. Computers deserve their own rights to rest and enjoy life.

(Says the guy who torments his PC for 25 hours a day)

How can they enjoy themselves when they are off? :P

Expensive anti-virus are worth their prices.

Anti-virus programs are a hoax; knowing how to use the registry is all you need.

Norton and Kaspersky particularly, are gold diggers and take up more RAM than neccesary.
