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 5102 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?

about every 3 weeks, cgminer just hang for no reason....
Set cgminer to auto restart every week

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.
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.
