I'm no pc tech but my friend is a consultant of many years.He claims one
should shut the unit down every day so as to purge the system of
resource-hogging programs that when closed,never free up all the
resources that were in use.His business clients have that issue with
some of their office suite software.I guess it's not a bad idea to at
least reboot if not stay off overnight.
