No it will be saved on the hard drive. It's very safe there.

Unplugged a pc is an identical as turning it off. some thing you does not lose with techniques from turn the computer off and reduce back on, you gained't lose with techniques from unplugging it. you'll lose what's in "memory", that may be any unsaved files think ofyou've got been engaged on. yet you gained't lose some thing kept on the troublesome stress (classes, video games, pictures, music, etc). in case you shut down the computer perfect previously unplugging it, you gained't lose some thing.

Hey there, not to worry. I disconnected and unplugged my computer for almost three months and still have my information intacted and not a single problem with it.
Warning, I suggest that you do not do it often depending the temperature of the room because computers can mess up if unplugged for a very long time and stored in rooms that are not normal room temperatures. The best I can tell you from expierence.... Relax ... later...

no it wont lose its memory.i got mine hooked up to a surge protector and sometimes i have to reboot it and i turn the little red button off and than wait a little while and than turn it back on and i still got all of my memory.but if u are talking about your memory that u was working on b4 u unplug it than yes but save your work and than u can turn it off.than u will be ok afterwards.

You will lose whatever you are working on right now unless it can be saved. Stuff previously stored on your harddrive will still be there, IE pics or music. Stuff you might lose. An open word document unless you can save it before cutting power.

Depends on which type of memory you're using. If you're still with the conventional type, then most data is kept in the temp folder which will be recovered when you restarted it. If you're using flash based memory, then you won't loose a thing.

No your computer will be just fine. The only thing lost per say is whatever is temporarily stored in RAM. Your programs, music, pictures will all be there once you plug it back in.

Your computer will be fine. I put mine away in my closet for about 6 months and it was just fine when i hooked it back up. just be careful to store it in a place that isnt damp!

unless it is in a program update/deletion then no the computer has a 5 second backup to save all the stuff
