hello, can someone tell if something will happen to my pc? it's been working for 2 weeks now, 24\7 full time

 

[Bootprint]

What's too long?

I've heard of servers being up for years at a time.

 

[imported_Lucifer]

Nothing. I keep my computers running all the time.

 

[MX2]

I have a PC at work thats been on 283 days and counting

 

[eelw]

KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!

What do you think happens. How do you think corporate/commercial servers are able to stay running 24/7/365????

 

[WarriorWithin]

what if you torture it approx 7hours every 24h ?

 

[wasserkool]

god says, let there be warmth
and there is warmth,

god feels the warmth, and it was good

 

[Bootprint]

You might end up with the equivalent of plaque in the CPU traces, eventually it'll slow down and you'll need an electronic drano.

 

[WarriorWithin]

okay than

 

[wasserkool]

pentium D sux, just a space heater and egg cooker

 

[thehstrybean]

First, it'll spew and sputter. Then it'll shoot any cds/floppys out at 90+ mph. Then it shall catch on fire, with the grand finally being an explosion equivalent to a 1000000000000000000000 megaton nuclear warhead...Then you will have roflwaffles that will be distributed all over the earth...

 

[WarriorWithin]

why do you think that? it doesn't feel warm at all, and it works just perfect on (for now) every game at max performance

If you pee on it every once in a while it should be fine.

 

[Mo0o]

Wow.. intentional double post :disgust:

 

[yankeesfan]

Nothing will happen. Many people on this forum leave their computers on for 6 months straight.

[Leper Messiah]

with that dual core pentium? Probably overheat after a couple of months if you don't clean out the HSFU.
