When was the last time you shut it down?

I shut it down every night, I plug it in on my desk and close the lid.

135 days and maxxed out memory later, I took this picture before restarting it. I still can't believe windows survived that long without a BSOD

uptime

135

That's just something with a memory leak. Just shut down the offending thread and it'll run fine again.

Temp files, and wild tangent games (built in crap-ware/malware from HP, Toshiba, etc) a restart later and it was good as new

I have a diagnostic thumb drive, but I don't take data off of client machines, even something as trivial as an image Hence the phone pic.
