Can I leave my pc on for long period?

[Daniel Youssef]

Well I've recently bought new graphics card and power supply and before that o could leave my pc on for a week and not worrying about it, now since I've bought new gpu I'm not sure if keeping it online for long might do something to the gpu or not but I really want to download a 30gb game which would take 3-4 days. So does keeping my computer on for that long could harm my gpu or anything in my comp?

There is no problem with leaving your computer on for that amount of time .

It will be fine, if anything does happen RMA it straight up because nothing should happen at all.

So long as everything is working as it should, definitely not a problem. I usually leave mine on for a couple weeks at a time unless a software install or something requires a reboot. It runs 24/7.

Im having core I7 and gtx 750ti 2gb ddr5 and 4gb rams and b85-hd3 mb and uhh 650W psu so such computer could survive for a couple of says without turning it off at all? I wont be playing anything just leaving it to dowload

 

[Joao Machado]

yep , you could leave it for a much longer period of time if you wanted/needed.

it'll be fine.

So computers made to handle those stuff, what about the laptops? Could they survive 3-4 days being on without turning it off?

I wouldn't do that with a laptop, no. Not anymore than absolutely necessary. They're not built like a desktop, everything is crammed in a very small case with barely enough cooling to be functional. Laptops were never intended to be a 'main' computer they were designed to be a portable option for people while away from their main pc. Much like a camp stove is made for temporary use and isn't up to the same types of use as a household stove.
