Computer Hardware TipShould You Power Off Your Computer?Switching your computer off at the end of the day conserves on energy which translates to protecting our resources. If for no other reason, it will mean a lower utility bill. If you have broadband internet service, switching off at night also gives you further protection from hackers. Further energy savings can be gained by placing your computer in Standby Mode during the day when you are not using it. I suggest that you unplug your computer and your phone connection during thunderstorms. Never unplug your computer without first clicking on the Start Button, Turn Off Computer, Turn Off and then allowing your system to power down. |
