It depends on the usage of applications that's running on the pc. Sometimes I use my PC for the whole week without it exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. I guess the key is to always keep your PC as cool as possible.

Well, I think it does. Sometimes I do use my laptop to the point that I can actually boil hot water from it's temperature, but that really made it to start having issues and finally broke down. I think sometimes you need to give it a rest

When you use a computer system for a long time, it is going to generate a lot of it and become hot. This can slow down the operation of the computer system. Best thing is to shut it down for a while before you start using it again.

That's very true. I've never used a computer but I have such experience with my phone. Sometimes my phone gets hot I normally off it for some hours. If I don't do that the phone will start malfunctioning.

It is good to shutdown your computer or restart it after using it for a while. This will allow the computer to refresh itself entirely in order to perform effectively. You can shut down your computer system and take about 20 minutes to rest before you continue with your tasks.

I am using Honeygain and I read it doesn't work if your computer sleeps but is it harmful to keep it on the go all day? I shut it down at night. I'm doing the same with my phone.

Computer is an electronic device and doesn't feel bad for anything but sometimes overusing of computer can reduce the lifespan of the computer, that is just one of the outcome of using computer without giving it a rest.

When ever am using my personal computer to work, I make sure the battery is fully charged so that I will enjoy working with it, and when am not using it I switch it off and allow it to rest and get cool too.

While it may not necessarily affect the RAM, it will definitely drain and weaken your battery over time. There's also the issue of overheating due to continue excessive use.

It is very essential to allow your computer system to rest for a while after using for a long time. If you use your computer system continuously without shutting it down, it is going to affect its processor as well as the RAM. It might not be able to function properly over a time.
