I once had a cust who never turned off the computer for one good year. after which she has to due to black out in the city. It never started back ON.
We have to replace, Mobo, PowerSupply, RAM. Interesting and sad situation isnt it.

It can also be a disadvantage because graphics can make pages take a long time
to appear. These will take less time to display on your computer.And it will make the application to work slower.
