Is it better to put your PC to sleep or shut it down?

Shut it down, save energy, plus wont affect your PC
Depends what you're doing. If you call for to be able to draw from on quickly at some point, use sleep mode. If you're only just not needing it (going to bed or something) afterwards shut it down to save power. Sleep mode is merely used to allow you to quickly go and get your computer back on lacking having to do a full boot up. Possibly adjectives if you're working on a project and do not wish to shut down but don't want to idle away too much power.
Shut it down. It's pointless to leave it on unless you are extremely impatient and can't dally for it to boot up. If you computer takes forever to boot up it's probably because you hold too much crap on it. A reformat will help :)
Don't quote me ..but by personal experience , I have a lot more problems when I used to head off mine on all the time . I shut it past its sell-by date more often and enjoy no problems .
I prefer putting it to sleep cause i inevitability to use it frequently.
depends on how long ur leaving it past its sell-by date for. if like 3 hours or so later put it to sleep. if more than shut it down.



remember: each time you start up the computer it spend more electricity than you leave it on for a couple of hours. it is said that when u start your computer it debris like 3-4 hours of electricity.
Shut it down.
Personally when I use my laptop, and I am finished i only 'hibernate' this will save the computers state to the HD so when you turn it wager on on it will be in indistinguishable state it was contained by before you hibernate. boot time is like 30secs.



but when it comes to a desktop, you can in recent times leave it on 24-7 or tolerate it sleep, shutting down is pointless unless you want to save power
