Graham,
It would depend on the operating system it was running.
WinDoze, how would you like to crash today?

it is amazing how long electrical equipment can run if kept in appropriate conditions. Not PC related I know, but there waws a case in which recently of a family who have had a fridge and it has been running constantly for 47 years.
There is no reason really why a well ventilated cool running PC couldn't run as long. 

Regards

There has been an attested case of a BBC Micro running for nine years continuously and some of the exhibits at the London Science Museum are still run by a BBC Micro or two. It had many interface options whcih made if good for controlling things (eg. using the programming language FOURTH) and way ahead of it's time it also had ethernet. Most PCs didn't come with ethernet as standard well until about seven years ago.
