    It should be known though that I never switch this off, I just close the lid which puts it into sleep.
    I don't have the slightest clue for laptops but, you're better off only turning a desktop off on a per need basis.

    I know I should switch this off, I'm just too lazy.

    Fastest you've ever driven I assume?

    I've done 110 before, and that was in a little 4cyl. Saturn.

    The limiter kicked in and killed it though. It still had 2k RPM till it red-lined.

    Really? I thought rebooting any PC was good for it.

    Yes, that was the fastest I had driven. Before that was 60 on country roads, averaged around 45-50 to be honest because of the bends. In a straight line though, woosh.

    I only restart if I need to for an install, cleaning the case, or replacing/moving hardware.

    I had to replace my mobo battery recently because when my pc is turned off, it's also plugged out.

    Hmm, I think it's time to play some mass effect. Yeah, got that mass effect feeling.

    Because I have no friends.
