Reseting your computer poll

How often do you reset your computer/how often does your computer crash (given the stability of windows and hldm)?

Rarely happens for me. Though my computer used to crash a lot, due to
bad coolant paste, but ever since that's fixed it runs like a charm. :smile:

I've had an uptime of 73 days on my desktop now. :smile:

My linux server, at last check, was going for about 120 days.

although i shutdown every day, this applys to both my pc's, my fast(est) one here i shutdown every night, but it doesnt crash.

my server on the other hand has nearly been up 2 weeks solid (11 days today) and hasnt crashed, and will remain on.

it's always a good idea to reset an HL server at least once a day. there was an patch with the recent update that addresses some of the problem, but i don't think it's a complete fix.

the last time i had to reset my comp was last night, but that was the first time in a while. i suppose it serves me right for trying out raptors hl2 map creation prog. :rolleyes:

I was resetting a few times a day when I had the memory compatibility
problem. But now that's behind me, I haven't touched the reset
button for a week now.

I was crashing because my Vid Card would overheat because my fan on the
GPU dued, however I put a Thermaltake Giant III Heatpipe on it and no
problems no.

However I do turn my computer off at night, because it's to damn loud
with the fans in it (Yay Overclocking), but if it wasn't in my room I'd
leave it on.

i dont have to do that so often, but if i have to, its usualy because
of hammer compiling and some other programs and spyware and stuff

I press the power button on my comp to initiate shutdown sequence. I
dunno if it is damaging (hasn't caused any problems so far), but it
sure beats going start>shutdown.

My computer generally freezes up on me a good two or three times a day,
but I also have the nasty habit of just pulling the plug on it without
shutting down a lot. Its ability to screw up at any time means that I
save everything I do after every little change I make (even if I'm
writing a long email, I'll save it in notepad a good few times. Its
quite crippling, to be honest. :sad:

If I'm not going to be using it for say a half an hour I shut it down, then reboot when I come back.

I always turn off my computer no matter what every night, and I turn it
off for every extended period of time. Because if your computer is a
server and needs to be on 24/7, then you should shut down. And also a
fast computer doenst take that long to boot up, just run bootvis from
time to time to optimize the boot up time.

I have not had to do so since... XP.

I don't quite know why, but VHE keeps sabotaging XP! I find myself
forced to reset my machine eachtime I finish playing around with this
editor! If I don't, then eachtime I try to open a drop-down list,
explorer would crash.

I have not had to do so since... XP.

Hopefully you restart after applying the update patches...

my computer almost never crashes its always my games hammer during compilation is a frequent crasher

i assumed he meant the "reset" button. Of course i have to restart sometimes, but not due to any crashes.
