Uptime records

My current best uptime (as far as i can rememer) is 7 days, 6 hours and still going on this machine. Im impressed simply because i have been playing games on it for hours on end, buggering around with IE and Firefox and messing with other vitally important services and it has not yet crashed nor have I experianced slow down in games and everything still works. This is under Win2k.
Current uptime:


The only problem i seem to be having i that im getting disconnected from UT2004 servers before the game loads EVERY TIME.....but i think this might be a router problem and nothing to do with the PC

Unfortunatly i have to sleep in the same room as this machine and the fans make a racket, even after being slowed down. This isnt helped by the fact the side fan has nackered bearings after a fly got caught in the air current and sucked through the fan - made a hell of a mess......

EDIT - Record was 10 day and 7 hours before Windows got so bloated it was almost unusable - even with all the non-essentail services closed it was using over 120meg, whereas normally that is 80 or so. HDD latency also went through the roof - i think it is LineageII that caused that - oh well - time to try for another personal best.

I had a power outage about a week after I took that screenshot. Made my record about an hour short of 3 weeks. I took the oppurtunity to put some more RAM into my machine, though.

20 days and 23 hours

Hey Steg, you like Genesis too?

Yeh, dispite being 15, im a big genesis fan, the early stuff, before it turned into the phil collins pop band after hackett left. Recently went to see a tribute band (G2).

Can't get anywhere near my 10 day uptime again - Lineage keeps filling windows up to the point where it is unusable.

I can't go 3 days without something (cough, window, cough) needing to reboot because of an update. I just broke 2 days so I'm assuming I'll have to reboot for some reason in the next 22 hrs.

MY laptop heats up to unstable in about 13hrs :dead: . My comps get ( at most) 35 hrs of uptime if I accidentally leave them on all night. I don't do it often, though, because the one who pay the electricity bills (my parents) are beginning to consider getting rid of some of them

I use to have a server for my BF2 / CS games and I kept it on for about 8 months then it broke or something :haha:

My current computer I use for gaming doesnt stay on for longer then a day ( depends on if im at a LAN party because at LAN I stay up for like 2 days non-stop )

6 weeks, 4 days...Windows 2000

I have no idea how they got that information!

My XP machine gets rebooted roughly once a week, but like folks have said, driver installations and major software installs/uninstalls sometimes require more often reboots than that.

As far as my uptime record is concerned, as an undergrad, I liked to see how long I could keep Instant Messenger online without the internet connection going dead and disconnecting me. (The T3 line at my school got a bit overloaded sometimes.) Since that would also require leaving the computer running without a reboot, I can definitely say I made it at least three weeks at one point... but unfortunately don't have an exact number.

Frankly, I've found XP to be Microsoft's most stable OS to date. I do have a beta copy of Vista installed on my machine as well, but I don't usually stay booted into it long enough to fully test its stability over time. Does anyone have any experience with long uptimes in Vista?
