I am a computer repairman, and I leave all my computers on all the time. I turn off hibernation; If I wanted it off, I would turn it off.
I do let the monitors tuen off after awhile.
You might want to geive your computer something to do all day.
Mine are hunting for a cure for Tuberous Sclerosis, a terrible disease.

A motherboard can purely settle for far RAM. The actual slots that the board comes with and the suited RAM that would want to slot in that slot....multiply both jointly and that is the utmost supported RAM of that computer. If the utmost supported RAM of your computer is purely 640 meg, then it is an historic device and odds are you may slightly turn the element on. living house windows needs a minimum of two gig to run reliably, although you will get with the aid of with 512...quite with an OS like Ubuntu. Do us a opt for and positioned up the specs of your device...or extra efficient yet the make and kind of that device so as that it's going to seem up it is technical specs immediately?

For desktop pc better performance, I suggest you set your desktop background/wallpaper and screensaver to "none", then right click on desktop, click properties, click 'appearance', choose ' windows classic style'.
Then Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/power schemes/settings/turn off monitor after 10 minutes, and set the next 2 drop down boxes ( 1. Turn off Hard Disks, and 2. System Standby) to "never"/apply/ok/ok.
Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/System/Advanced tab /under Performance click on Settings / Visual Effects tab/
Adjust for best performance / Ok / Apply / Ok
Then Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/hibernate/take check mark out of "Enable hibernation"/apply/ok/ok. Do not to use hibernate on desktop. Standby & Hibernate Issues in Windows XP = http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_standby.htm

If I'm going to be away from the pc for more than an hour, or whenever there is lightning in the area, then after shutting it down properly, I unplug the UPS (which all the computer stuff is plugged into) and disconnect the cable.

I was going to answer this by telling you to log off when you leave, but you got a really good answer below. I never leave mine on when I leave, so it would be up to you. But, as suggested, please just turn your screen on off to save it unless you have a screensaver. My daughter leaves hers on all the time, so it is just a choice you make.
