Topic: How often do you restart the computer your mining on? - page 2. (Read 5101 times)
I restart CGminer once a day, but only have restarted PC once in 3 months.
only when I have to move them or want to add more hardware to them (USB expansion cards).
Never! Raspberry Pi here. Only when I need to move the miners for solo mining on my main PC.
Windows 7 machines. Uptime 80 Days - 24/7 mining.
No restart planned

The way I abuse my raspberry Pi, this has to be some sort of record. Shouldn't have to reboot it ever theoretically.
16:46:47 up 25 days, 20:26, 1 user, load average: 0.55, 0.42, 0.35

It depends of the stability of my system. Usually once a month.
Do people still mine on their computers?
I think people mine more than ever on their computers because of the recent boom in alt coins. For all i know they even buy gpu's again
Depends, Linux boxes, almost never except for a h/w upgrade,
Windows otoh once a month.

When I would have needed to restart it had I not been mining.
My mining on what?
I used to restart it every month or something but lately mining performance slows down with no good reason at all after a week or something and i have to restart.
I restart it like once a month or so , but not because of software but due to the dust accumulation in my rig (open case) , I live nearby a huge construction and a lot of dust is coming through the windows every day. So to keep the temperatures down, I power my 3 miners off and clean them.
Many times, I have faulty hardware and meh software.
after a power failure..
You'll probably be able to tell who is using windows vs. linux in this thread 
I restart probably monthly and restart my asic cgminer app itself more often than that due to stability issues.

Implying one OS is more stable than the other?
Both Windows 7/8 and Linux variants will easily run 24/7/365 when being used as pure miners.
