When you finish work on PC, do you usually leave it switched on, turn it off or put it in standby mode? I always shut it down. somtimes put it in standby mode if i am going away for few minutes but never left it switched on if not needed for long time.

I'll shutdown the system if i leave for atleast 20 minstues and if it is less than 20 minutes i'll keep it in standby mode.

I generally leave my PC many times because i am always a active torrents downloading i rarely switch my computer off. Some of my friends say that Hibernate is the best option to so that we need not open the every program mannually and system takes less time to boot and becaome ready to work.

Of course, i will shutdown my computer when it no longer to use. it just for 1 hours and i turn on again. Sometimes, i give it for anyone to playing games.

i leave my pc switched on if i will be going for a while like take some snacks or a regular meal or, go to the bathroom. if i am through with my task and i do not plan to get back within the hour, then i switch it off. turning off the computer is a better option if i will be away for sometime. it gives time for my computer to be rested aside from saving on electrical consumption.
