But you can skip that if you have not just any computer.. As i said depends. 
Topic: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? (Read 5101 times)
Well it's depends... But still It's best in my opinion to let it rest for about 1h then it completly cool downs .. well less if in fresh air especially in winter But you can skip that if you have not just any computer.. As i said depends.

But i have some friends that have there rigs mining for months without any problems. so it really depends on ur hardware
I restart a lot as my rig crashes a lot recently without any reason :/
I wouldn't say never.
I haven't done it since I started mining with the new gear in early November but probably I'll get a few forced restarts.

Stratum proxy runs on xUbuntu 13.10, on Dell Laptop, so no restarts.
I shutdown the blades for 30 secs once a week.

Never xD
I try to restart is at little as possible. About once a month I would say.
Wow I do mine once a week but they are cpumining haha.
How much damage are we talking about for cpumining, not pushing it or anything, and it's well ventilated? anyone have experience with laptops that got fried?

CPU mining on a desktop should be fine even with a stock fan.
I would not do any kind of mining with a laptop. I just bought a brand new 17" I7 and went with a GTX 770 since I have no intention of killing it (even with warranty). It's just not worth my time.

To keep safe I would probably say at least once a week. The couple of minutes of lost mining is nothing for being on the safe side and restarting.
But each restart does result in a thermal contraction/expansion cycle for the cards unless you're fast about it.

I never need to restart, unlike there is a power cut in my area. I am running Linux.
Which flavor?

I have never restarted my LTC Rig after I tweaked it, Why would I ?
never, but it gives me blue screen once in a while...
After 8 months I had to take down a LTC rig today for cleaning out the fans - amazing how useful a leafblower is - the hell with compressed air 
It did have 2 pauses in mining (switching from reaper to CGMiner and then again switching pools) but the machine didn't actually restart - Win 7 x64 SP1

never, I just leave mine on constantly
My miner restarts once a day. I only have access to it once a month.
