Like the title says I'm just wondering. Personally I RARELY turn my pc off, only if needed. (ex. restart after install) I guess I like having my things as I left it. Would love your feedback, thanks.

Also... Is there any real downsides to this that I don't know about? o.O

Put it too sleep overnight or if i'm going to be back within the day. Shut it down if I won't be back for a day or two. Although I normally shut my laptop down.

It might be your mouse/keyboard? Most likely windows update? (Had this problem on my htpc before, ended up being my wireless mouse)

Every night I shut down, Sleep mode whenever I step away for more than five minutes. I don't mind anymore as with a 850 Evo boots are no longer a big deal.

Never turn mine off unless I am tinkering with something or have to go out of town or power goes out...

Shut down every night. 

Do you have a HDD rather than an SSD by any chance?

I edit my posts a lot.

Whenever I head out, go to sleep etc. I have an SSD, so the boot up time is not a problem for me.

I only put my PC to sleep if I download something and go away. Other than that I never put my PC to sleep. Always turning it off, waste of electricity leaving it on.

Nope, full specs are in my sig. I am a huge power user so I usually have many things open, like having everything where I left off at. :)

Hearing 25 x 120mm fans and two water pumps spool up makes me feel like I'm about to do some work.  I shut down or restart every chance I get.  :D

I turn mine off whenever I go to bed.

Saves on electricity plus I'm one of those people who need 100% silence in order to sleep. Expect for when it rains lol.
