Just wondering, what's the longest you've ever had your pc on for without a restart or a shutdown?
I think mine must have been about 36 hours, that's not very long compared to what you guys have I suppose?

PS : I would do a poll, but it's more interesting with comments etc. :)
I've had mine up for several weeks without a restart or a shutdown. If I had to give an exact figure, probably 20 days. And to boot, the machine is running Win98!

I have been shutting my PC down every night recently. They raise the the electricity bill .05 on the nights everyone is running their AC... or at least my power company does.
my win2k server has been up since 4:18pm jun18 2002 due to a hardware upgrade......prior to that it was up for about 5 months...
He asked about desktop PC's not about servers.
About 48 hours (Linux).
the computer at my work stays on for most the year this is only shut down for when upgrades are done and a reboot is required. this is just a everyday base station not a server.
some times this machine goes 5 or 6 months with out a reboot.

My linux box has been up for 120 days, but I have to move it this weekend so it will get shutdown.
My longest run with W2K Pro has been 28 days, took it down to add some memory. :cool:
I have currently been up and running for 36 Hours. I guess that is nothing to be too proud over.
Workstation : OS = FreeBSD 4.6-stable, Uptime = 5days, 12hrs, 11min (time since last cvsup and rebuild of kernel and userland =P)
Firewall/Router : OS = FreeBSD 4.2-stable, uptime = 28days, 22hrs, 33min (my last power outage and I neglected to ensure the UPS was still good :-/ )
edit :
prior to my power outage, the Firewall/Router had been up for 9 months, 6days and some odd hours... Still kicking myself for not ensuring the UPS was operational.
My longest was 48 hours, I run win95 and all the win9x systems slow down like crazy and you have to reboot them. So when I was trying to access hotmail with my cable connection, it took about 2 and a half minutes to load internet explorer, and then another 1 and a half to get to hotmail.com After that I just rebooted.
my system duel boots freebsd and windows98, it's been on for 2 months but i've rebooted it to switch b/t the operating systems.
does that count?
The only reason mine goes down is because I manually power it off :P But right now my desktop's been on for about... 26 hours. I'll probably shut it down later today, and then it will be around 38 hours. Windows 98. Strange, just as I was about to submit the reply it slowed a bit... oh dear. :p
I left my red hat linux on for 3 months, because I run a server. But it was a big step for me since I used to run win98 which I rebooted at least 2 times a day to prevent from getting laggy. My friend left his ME on for 2 months, he has an 833mhz and it was slower than my 133mhz, amazing, huh?
Workstation - Linux (running Squid) - about ten weeks without rebooting
Server - Novell 5.0 - over 300 days
My workstation with the longest uptime right now is 69 days and 30 min on one of my linux boxes. My fastest workstation gets rebooted about once a day because I have to boot into windows to play Warcraft 3, but then I reboot back into linux for the rest of my activities.
My W2K workstation at work was up as much as the length of time between security patches and service pack or software installs, but in general a minimum 500 hours a month. Yes was on 24/7.
Didn't we just go through this a couple weeks ago? LOLQuote:

3:26pm up 308 day(s), 3:28, 15 users, load average: 0.13, 0.16, 0.18
Current uptime... then again, it's not Windows (obviously).
I've had XP running for a little over 7 weeks at its longest stretch....had to shut down for an electrical storm or it would have lasted longer.
