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.
