- Some people put their PCs to sleep to save energy, some people DISABLE sleep so they always have access, but what's the best solution for you? Whether a PC should be set to hibernate, sleep, or be shut off depends on the situation, and your personal preferences regarding gluten-free food. Don't ask me how that works in, it just does.

I turn off my PC, unplug it, and then completely disassemble it and place all of the components in static resistance bags, and then I reassemble it when it's time to start back up.
+Justin Hall same
+Justin Hall lol i just keep mine out of antistatic bagsand let thm get dusty untill i turn my pc back on. how lazy i am
Why did this make me laugh so much
Conor O'Brien You likely have a keen sense of sarcasm.
+Justin Hall I go one step further and return all of the components to the shop and get a refund, Then when i wake up i re-buy all of them and turn it on.
I pour water on mine until it sparks and shuts off, then in the morning I use a blow drier until it powers up. I never have any problems with that method.

Ha, and all my friends said I was crazy.

I actually did this and my motherboard is ruined

Sleep mode when I go to bed. (5-7 hrs)
Hibernate when I go to work (9-12 hrs)
On for the rest of the time because I have no life outside of the above.
Bro this is me wtf hahahaha
When do people do virus scans or updates if they turn off their PC everytime
You're not getting nearly enough sleep.
Mrs. Roper I get 6 hours of sleep a day and it’s perfect. Everybody is different.
And because I have been Bodybuilding for the past couple years, more than 6 hours of sleep causes my muscles to tear more and become more painful.
Btw I sleep from 11pm to 5am and my schedule is
-Eat Breakfast + Coffee
-Morning Jog
-Work
-1.5 Hours at the gym
-Sleep
And this schedule requires me to sleep the same amount of time every night so I can fit all of these into my schedule every day.
Life’s great and very refreshing!

New to the whole PC ting, now when you guys shut down your desktop, do you guys shut down everything like hitting the switch to the PSU to?
@@tygaman89er I turn off my laptop, then unplug the laptop. Back when I used PC, I would turn off the computer then switch off the power supply from the wall socket, because of the unpredictable electricity in my country. Sometimes, after power outages, the electricity would come back on with more than required strength, frying electronics.

Sadly Hibernation Mode is Gone in the latest Windows 10 Update..
It shouldn't be. You might need to enable it in the system settings, might just have disabled it by default because it does eat a fair amount of diskspace.
It's actually pretty easy to get back. Just go to Power and Sleep settings, click Additional Settings, go to Change what the Power Button Does, and check Hibernate
Not true. It's still there.
Turn it on at: control panel > hardware and sound > power options > system settings. Hit the Change settings that are currently unavailable. That will allow access from the power button menu.
you mean, October 2020 Update | Windows 10 20H2?
For Desktops... You might want to turn it off AND unplug it if Lightening is in the area. For all computers... Another good reason to shut it off (or at least sleep or hibernate) is to protect your computer from Viruses (i.e. even though you aren't doing anything, someone else may remotely penetrate your defenses and access it while it's unattended).

For probably 4ish years I put my computer in sleep mode each night and rarely powered it down completely. Now the past 3ish years or so I have been powering it down each night instead of putting it in sleep mode. I noticed some improvement in my computers 'health' having opted into powering down nightly and will definitely continue to do so having lots of experience with both. But everyone's gonna have a different opinion I'm sure, and when all said and done, my computer worked fine with either method.

I am rendering in Adobe AME and need to transport my laptop without shutting down and losing my render progress. So I need to know if hibernation or sleep mode would be okay to transport my laptop safely without the hdd beig damaged. Looks like hibernation is my best bet.
Upgrade to ssd
Depends on how long I'm transporting it. 15 minutes? Sleep. 2 hours? Hibernate. I rarely turn my machine off. I usually use hibernate so that my files are already up and ready to go when I'm ready to go back to work.

I shut my computer off every night because my PSU is super loud and the case has super bright LEDs on the power button. If I don't shut it down, it's nearly impossible to sleep.
Is your PSU an XFX? I have one of those piece of shits and it's so loud lol.
+(´・ω・`) Most XFX PSUs are high quality, it could be a defect if it doesn't sound like a normal fan.
I know it's a Seasonic oem, but XFx's fans are just garbage. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO loud, perhaps it's defective but many people have RMAd their XFX to no avail. I'm not gonna bother sending it back for now.
(´・ω・`) Actually, even worse. Logisys, the worst PSU brand in existence. The only reason I have the power supply is because it came with the case.

Matthew Falcone no shit
and by install I don't mean off the web. I mean PHISICALLY installing the ram stick into you're motherboard.
I turn my PC on in the morning and off at night. Another consideration that Linus didn't mention is that if you leave it running for several days without shutting down, your OS can become unstable. That's why the most common fix for an issue with your phone is to turn it off, cause no one really does it.
I just shut my PC down, throw it away, get the raw materials, and then just build up a new one for use

I shut it off to make sure the RAM is flushed.

Memory leaks are a real issue. So regular shutdowns are good. Though my server may run for months at the time without a hard reboot, my desktop gets one almost every day.
Doesnt servers also have ECC memory which is supposed to combat this?
Or something like that?
Personally i have left my desktop on but thats only if im napping and i prefer it being off if not in use.
For some reason My laptop takes two restarts for that to happen.
What do you mean flushed?

+Daxxie GFX Should be OK. I occasionally let my laptop run all night if I download smth large, but that's rare occasion
+Daxxie GFX (Gaming) It's like what Linus said, doing this isn't going to dramatically deteriorate the components to the point where they're going to die in a relatively short amount of time.
Every component dies eventually. The point is to have them last long enough for your needs. For example, I tend to replace my GPU every 2-3 years (I usually get the highest or second highest tier in a given period of time). Because of this, it's of less concern to me if my particular practices leads to my GPU having a greater risk of failing at year four instead of that same risk existing at year six. This is of a greater concern to those that replace their GPUs less frequently, and of zero concern to those that upgrade every year.
Yoo, am watching this video on 2020 and it is still useful. Specially, I was confusing about sleep and hibernate, but now you fix everything. Thanks to you!

When i turn of my pc (and unplug) and then restart it the next day, all my windows are still opened (mainly chrome in these cases tho) so is it safe to assume nowadays there is no need for hibernation anymore? Or does hibernation include games remmembering where it was? If so it would still be interesting

Dust build up. Obviously having your pc on 24/7 will make the dust build up very fast compared to turning it of(or sleep etc.)
+Robert Rismyhr If you're not really using the PC and have all the power saving options well configured it really can go on with ALL fans off. No dust build at all with the fans stopped. Well, maybe on the top of the case but you know what i mean :|
+Gabriel Knight No fans on means no cooling, on a computer that is on. This sounds like a terrible idea.
pyre78 Passive cooling via the heatsinks with the fans off can be enough in idle. My psu for example rarely uses its fan because it doesn't have to, even when gaming.
+pyre78 I understand your concern but heatsinks DO a lot of passive cooling on their own. When turned on but idle my 4770K rests at just 800mhz with 1-2% load and i can keep it that way for hours with an increase in temp of just 7-8 degrees (celsius).
Don't be scared to try it some day :)
+Robert Rismyhr i clenned up every 5 month, with no good case so its ok no hight temperatures for me
Turn it on in the morning. Turn it off when I go to sleep.
So do I, it makes it easier for me even though my mom doesn't do that all the time for her computer
same its the best way anyways

I use my PC (desktop) for the longest period time in the morning, which is when I write my tales, research, or shop.I step away from my PC for 2 to 3 hours intervals, so when I step away from it during the day, I simply put it to sleep for those few hours. Then I come back to it and check things -- Facebook etc. Then when I step away again I put it in sleep mode. But at night, when I go to bed, I turn it off for those 6 to 8 hours. Then it's rinse & repeat starting in the morning. 1. Use, sleep @ day breaks. 2. Bed time, off.

Best advice is to hibernate instead of sleep if you are going to one of the 2 instead of shutdown... but I suggest that you save your work first and exit if you were typing something in a password protected document for example. It does not matter if you have a hard disk drive or not as either way it should not take too long to turn back on, it should still be faster then if you just booted up the computer instead.
Great video as always Linus. Just a question, don't all electronics components have an Average Rated Lifetime Hours ? Meaning that leaving the PC On all the time is a matter of necessity (Server, Remote Access, etc) rather than a convenience. Although I'm almost certain that the average rated lifetime hours of PC components is very high, but it still is there. Please correct me if I'm wrong. :-)

I have an ssd and only 8gb ram and waking up from hibernation takes way longer than booting normally. The ssd was more expensive than the entire pc.
Sata3, 500Mb/s sequential read.
There isn't a bottleneck. The OS probably doesn't need to read 8gb from the ssd to boot.
Waking up from hibernation with an SSD is way faster than with an HDD but it obviously isnt faster than booting normally because booting normally with an SSD is also faster than with an HDD. Especially when running WIndows 8 or 10: Those have a feature called Fast Boot which is basically semi hibernation. It writes everything system relevant to the hard drive but not the programs you are running so that it will boot very quickly. And what do you think is faster: Copying 1GB from SSD to RAM or copying 2-8GB? It just depends on your needs. Maybe youre running many programs sorted in a special way on your monitors. Then the few seconds faster boot isnt worth it preparing everything again, instead of just hibernating.
Enrico Dias I have an ssd and only 8gb of ram don't have this issue. That's strange
prettylolitadoll my computer boots in 2 or 3 seconds (from bios to login screen). In order to wake up from hibernation in 2 seconds it needs to read 4Gb/sec from the SSD and the sata interface itself will limit it to 600Mb/seg.
Thank you. Another video with crystal clear instructions :)
I have a smart meter for my energy. I can tell you that watching youtube videos all night uses the same amount of power as boiling the kettle once for the coffee to keep me awake to watch them.
Is that a real fact?
Well... we're waiting
maybe if the pc was idle yeah, it doesn't draw a whole heap of power while it's idle so I could believe it. I always keep my PC on though so I started mining crypto while I sleep so earn a very small amount of extra cash on the side lol
@BAT EATER I'm not paying 100% of the power bill as I have 3 roommates, so yes I am making a profit as they are technically paying for my power use ;)
@BAT EATER nicehash is a pretty popular one, no programs/sites require an actual mining rig, all of them can use your desktop pc. it's just that it isn't a feasible option to mine with a desktop pc because a dedicated bitcoin miner will have a much higher hashrate compared to your gpu/cpu. i only mine overnight while i sleep and mine roughly $2/night, it's more beer money than anything.

Besides, you are much more likely to replace your computer due to new technologies and features, than from wear and tear from shutting off the machine.
Great video,I have started using the sleep mode for this new PC build that I recently put together because as you mention in your video there are concerns as to how much wear and tear completely shutting down a PC can cause on the PC components.I bought SSD drives which is what I will be using from now on and I have to say that this new PC build is fantastic,once the PC goes into sleep mode if I didn't know better I would swear that the PC is completely powered off and waking the PC is a snap.I decided to use sleep mode because when the PC is running the cooling fans are also running which means that the PC is drawing in dust when I am not using it.I decided against completely powering off the PC because I share my PC with my other half and she doesn't like having to turn the PC on from a cold boot so sleep mode in my opinion fits the bill perfectly.Thank you for another great video and may God bless you and your family.
i am always on my laptop, but when i go to bed, i don't use it of course, so from what your saying, its best to use sleep mode?
i always turn off my computer......10 second boot from off....no need to leave it sleeping.

David Fernandez No need for research my laptop with a 250 GB SSD and 8 GB of DDR3 RAM boots from fully of to on in like 40-50 seconds, maybe i need to reinstall windows?
+Dr. Smith Is your ram running in dual channel? How much crap is autostarting? How much time does your bios waste before starting Windows? Which Windows version are you running? - Also Windows 10 never "really" shuts off, but puts a part of the system into hibernate, to make the next boot faster.

It turned out after many months of periodic troubleshooting that one of his ram sticks was not working properly. Something about read/write errors when we ran a ram test. When we pulled that ram stick out, it solved the problems
I figure what happened must be putting the computer to sleep was putting a chunk of data onto the bad ram stick and when it restarted, the bad data caused an unrecoverable error leading to the Blue screen.
I reboot my computer about once or twice a week to clear the RAM.
Well, turning it off saves power... right?
Yeah I turn mine off to save power. Especially when I go to sleep.
+KingShoter007 so does sleep
Sleep doesnt do it as efficiently as hibernating
Yes it does.
I'm not an expert. But, from hearing experts talk about this, I think one can fairly assume that the only thing that could potentially die from turning off your pc every day is your HDD, which is one of the cheapest components on your pc (atm, you can get 1tb hdd for 30 bucks). You should back up important data anyways. And that's only after years of use, so I think it's worth it, since pretty much pc runs really smoothly after a fresh start.
I usually leave my PC on unless I'll be gone for multiple days or it's a particularly hot day and it's not in current use. Unfortunately my new home has old wiring and my computer is being blamed for a breaker that keeps tripping. I'm considering setting my (desktop) computer to hibernate when I'm not at my desk, however I've got a mechanical drive and I don't want to wear it out. The drive is only 3-4 years old, exactly how bad would the power on/power off cycles be if I were to do this multiple times a day? What if I only did it overnight?
Just shutting it off. Takes 15 seconds to boot from an SSD anyways.
Force
Booting is not the same as wake from hibernation. Post video or I call it a flamebait. Did you watch the video?
My PC always has a bluescreen before it properly works after a shut down so...
my ssd takes 7 seconds to boot XD!
ThatOneBandit wow, not bad , my 8.1 win used to take 12 seconds in the beginning and then,well it changed 😂
uhm.. you can't recover your recent processes when you shut down, that's the difference.
My Pc has been on for the last 3 years.
...
Horst von Hinten Windows 10 since last year, windows 8 before that.
+jao hernandez really????? 😮i turn off my computer approx.. 5-10times a day !!
+Shivam Shukla its been restarted when updates have asked me to and turned off twice when i added ram and upgraded gpu apart from that its been on.
+jao hernandez get a life
So I use my pc every evening after work for a couple of hours however i dont use it for about 12-15hours a day and during that time its switched of and even unplugged.. my reason... we have loadshedding randomly in our country so this must then be the safest bet?
Is it a bad thing that when i turn off my pc i turn off the power supply? Im doing this beacuse my graphics card has a really bright light on it and its on even if i turn the pc off
They can be turned off???
Start>Control Panel> Power Options> Change Power Settings> Change Advanced Power Settings> click the [+] beside "Sleep"> read and understand
Thanks man! Appreciate that!
Still don't get it D: Tried for a year now and still didn't figure out how to turn my PC off D:
+Jan what operating system do you have?
Windows, but I tried in Linux as well D:
I was watching with captions and the first thing you get is, nigga PC has this thing called up power but
+Minty Rail lol, trooof
AHHAHAHAHAHHAH SHIT MAN ROFL
lmao
So I watch every one of your videos, and I just stumbled onto this one 5 years later in 2020...and this shit is the funniest one you have made. "Like a bear" killed me...
How to set USB port power something like the Sound interface when PC is fully off?
Sometimes i use USB Sound Card Interface for TV and other staff when PC is off but in my case this HP 8200 compaq energy star turns OFF all USB ports power so Sound Interface is not usable when PC is off.
Solution?
Sleep if you are gonna be gone for a little bit, Like grabbing lunch, going to pick up someone etc.
Hibernate if you are gonna be gone for a while; If you are like going to bed or to the beach, etc. Shut down if you want
Shut down if you are moving a computer somewhere else.
For the past 4 years I only put my laptop to sleep. Perfectly fine.
The only times I do a restart or shutdown is when I'm troubleshooting, installing updates, or upgrading a piece of hardware.
This is the answer i was looking for cuz my 1st laptop its the (Aspire 1 Windows 7) got broken i dont really know what happen becuase every time i turn it on it just shut down its own even whenever im using it like watching movie or scrolling through my facebook for some reasons it just turns of on its own it doesnt go to all that shutting down process its just suddenly black screen
It's probably getting too hot and preventively shutting down.
Try asking on a pc store to change thermal paste, or do it yourself if you know what you are doing.
This laptop is known to have this problem (had a work associate with one) make sure you do get rid of it. if you want to keep it I would replace the windows operating system with a linux distribution, it is lighter on the processing hardware. You can also check the thermo paste like ramzy sad while your in there, and as always adding max ram won't hurt.
it just increase your chance of broken down, but many laptop nowadays is very durable anyway I got surplus money so I would buy cheap laptop and not taking care of it
Ramzy Hieds Make sure the thermals are ok underload if not inspect fans if they are running fine try and replace older thermal paste, if the problem pressist check the battery maybe its faulty or getting old, and make sure the connectors that are connected to the battery are clean, nothing seems wrong still, get it to. computer store.
An when I carried in my backpack?....Because is in a vertical position and I move it arround should I shut it down completly?
I get into about this all the time. My pcs have been running non stop for the last 30 years, all of them still run. Temp changes are what kills circuitry especially if you have pc in cold area. Starting it up heats up the circuits and causes expansion and contraction when cooling off. It doesnt take a genius to see how this can affect your main board over time. Let them run and they always atay at same temp and avoid expansion /contraction.
If I let my PC in sleep mode it works? Or just let on always?
My pc doesnt have a power button and my psu power switch is broken, so i just kick my pc until it shuts off
I threw mine into our pool. That turns it off.
AESTHETIC SUCCER I think I know why it's broken
how the hell do you turn it on?
LOL xD
adam carr bitch slaps it
Wait...
...there is a off button?
Where? I found the on button, but can't find the off button.
Press the same button. It will prompt the OS to go through the shutdown process and then shut off.
it was a joke...
an*
Wot? its "a" not "an"..
In sleep mode i sometimes completely power off my system like turning the UPS and the main wall switch off and still when i turn my system on it resumes normally as after sleep!! But since the data is stored on ram and after Completely powering my system off the data in ram should be lost right? But it doesn't!! Which makes me think that how is it possible?
does the chunk of hibernate memory on ssd will be destroy and keep chunking other memory on ssd or just reserved the only chunk?
i usually shut it off, but sometimes when i DL big games i let it run overnight
I think that's what we all do when it comes to downloading games xD
i'm sure there are those with a high-speed fiber that download games in a few minutes.
+roderick. r. Would take 30hours for me..... Be grateful for ur Internet ._.
soo when you download or upoad you shuld live it on or you can put it on sleep or Hibernate??
hibernation/sleep will pause the download (at least in my experience), but you can lock the computer
I always turn mine off every night, I had a teacher that only ever put here laptop to sleep it got sooooooooooooo slow because of memory leaks that she was gonna buy a new one I restarted it for her and she was amazed at how fast it was (also it was a macbook pro)
+Marlin Robertson I agree
oh god dont get me started with mem leaks Dx
GamingSoup what is memory leaks and how exactly does it happen
+michael mckinlay Programs use RAM space to store temporary data. A good programmer will remove his data and free up the space the instance the temporary data isn't useful anymore. Memory leaks occur when a programmer fails to free up and "release" the space.
+michael mckinlay I think its when a file will not get removed from the ram after its been used, it keeps taking up space until you're left with no ram and pc slows down. Don't quote me on this though.
On most times off if thunderstorm i live in the Caribbean so storms are frequent in some months but as said it really depends its a server plus gaming rig so remote network access is priority
I got a new ssd laptop windows 10. Can I put it in a bag in hibernation mode? or that might cause it overheate?
I shut it off when im gone for around a week, otherwise I leave it on for weeks straight :P
That's when you hibrate it ;)
+Teutol you mean vibrate? 😲😉😆
+iTzHadi ツ what? dude chill it's a joke you Idiot xD
+iTzHadi ツ original comentor deletet coment its not funny anmore
You should restart every week or so (depending on how often you use it) to clear out residual crap in your RAM and caches.
Windows doesn't operate smoothly if you don't restart every now and again.
I always shut down, saves power, reduces dust buildup and allows your system to unload random crap that builds up in the memory, so next time you turn your computer on its fresh and ready to go.
I don't see how letting the dust settle would reduce dust buildup? As long as you have good filters and airflow leaving it on would be better?
Fans push more air (and more dust with it) throughout your components.
But good air flow keeps the the air (and dust) moving and stops it from settling on top of all your components, so as long as you have good filters (therefore reducing the amount of dust that comes in with the air) surely just making sure the dust doesnt settle would be better?
What do you mean by "good air flow"? A "wind tunnel" like one? Based on my expirience the dust sticks to all air resistant parts of the components and it doesn't go away with the flow. I use an air pump to clenup fans and radiators. And I do agree that you need filters, but without good sealed case it won't help as much as it can.
I just don't like having to sit through a long boot up, it wastes time. Hibernating is basically the same thing, only it boots up way quicker and it brings you back where you were so you don't have to open up all of your programs again.
I remember choosing to hibernate my pc, luckily nothing got wrong though it may fail. Better not hibernate if you were to plug the electricity off or else it would stop working among bsod. I have already tested it many times on my pc but if you were to choose sleep, then no worries at all.
I don't usually used my PC last month. I'm using my PC recently which I use 3-4 hours per day. For 2 days my PC is on for some important work. Tell me, Is it okey?
I'm really confused this guy never mentioned any of the states. NOT EVEN NEW YORK
He is Canadian
+Alex Foxx They have provinces and territories there.
that's because murica is not the center of the universe
+Niobium
Lol
Why would he though? This is a channel about IT? What's that got to do with the areas of the United States? Are you under the impression the world is something like "the USA and weird foreigners"? Because you're certainly coming off that way.
my Pc runs 24/7 because I make my backups on night time.
that would make sense
I gotta recheck which one is my desktop using, as when I leave it alone for more than 30min it shows the screen inmediately but starts working excessively slow and takes around 10s to start working normally. Weird thing, I'm pretty sure I disabled hibernating months ago.
Anyway, I can't troubleshoot it now, my PC is in my bedroom and my wife is sleeping there, I'm using the laptop at the living room at the moment.
On normally, except during lighting storms.
