Nah she be right

[NeatSquidYT]

It'll be fine as long as your temps are fine, Skype isn't even intensive

[Katsu-K1L]

Nah she be right

really....?

"Your call has been disconnected." - Internet failure. 

[TheKDub]

As long as the temps stayed at a safe level it will be just fine.

"Your call has been disconnected." - Internet failure. 

boss internet over here

never happened

[SuperStroopwafel]

The only problem would be a mad mom or wife.

Reliable internet connection for 1200 hours straight? I wish you luck my friend.

So long as you're not running a benchmark, or other intensive process for 40 days straight, you should be good. My old pre-built ran for, more or less, 10 years straight with little downtime.

if things get "hot  " then just tape some box fans on your PCs 

[GhostWindGamer]

really....?

Yes it will be fine people have run there PC's for much longer then 40 days with no problem

[Katsu-K1L]

By then, Windows will probably insist on updating and force a restart. Turn off automatic updates for a while. My record was just under a month before one day it simply restarted on its own due to updates. Or a spike in power network that causes a quick restart, it's always something.

 

Maybe you'll be luckier.

windows security update force shutdown. gg

your pc is going to work slower and slower over Time. Higher chances on ssd/hdd failure

You might get blue screens

Internet Failure- 

Cause- Time Warner Cable, Comcast MERGE!

Windows Update will take your PC hostage by then (and force restart)

That's why you can disable the service....

[Altecice]

well thats a silly thing to do.

[Speedbird]

well thats a silly thing to do.

For normal users, yes. That is a silly thing to do. But when you want to make a world record on something, you are not a normal user....

 

On topic: yes, it will be fine.

The real problem is how reliable the internet connection on both ends is. I expect a drop out to occur long before 40 days goes by.

[STRMfrmXMN]

50 day long Skype call....

 

Let's see.

Internet drops (* ahem Comcast *) 

Skype crashes

Updates to all sorts of things

Power goes out (look out for the weather if you're gonna go into December....)

PC gets hot (get a normal house fan and blow it on the innards of the thing)

 

Still don't think it'll happen.

My computer has been off for less than 10 days since I built it like 3 years ago.
