Slukke computer

jeg har for nylig læst en artikel om diverse rygter om hvad der kan ske i forskellige situationer, de havde gennemtestet flere ting som for eksempel hvor stor chancen var for at ram brænder af ved statisk elektricitet og også det med at data kan gå tabt, hvis man bare slukker for maskinen.
de konkluderede efter mange gentagne forsøg at det slet ikke var tilfældet, chancen var minimal. slf hvis man arbejder på noget idet man slukker, mister man slf det man er igang med, men eller skulle der ikke ske noget ved det.

jeg fandt lige artiklen, faktisk interessant læsning :)

Okay mange tak for den :D ja det har nemlig været løse rygter i mange år nu, og aldrig er der blevet bekræftet noget, men det er der nu :D Mange tak for hjælpen, smid svar :D

Lidt dårlig artikel. Hvilket filsystemet brugte de? Jeg tør vædde med NTFS. NTFS er klart mere robust end det gamle FAT32.

For at nævne ét problem: RAM caching. Windows holder fat-tabellen i hukommelsen. Hvis dele af den ikke er gem på harddisken, og man bare slukker.. så kan disken se sjov ud efter næste opstart [been there, tried that].

ok takker :)

Terrible things happen if you turn off your PC without shutting down Windows.
Don't touch that switch! According to Microsoft, if you turn off your PC without first shutting down Windows, your hard drive could become more fragmented, files could become corrupted, and you could lose data.

Maybe Microsoft's warning holds some water, but we wouldn't worry about straining the system or harming Windows. We ran 30 iterations of an informal test, turning off a pair of systems running Windows XP without first shutting down Windows. Each time we left documents open in Word, Outlook, and Quicken. And we left our Internet connection up and running.

After we turned each PC back on, we ran Symantec's Norton Disk Doctor and the Windows disk checker to see if the hard drive had suffered any ill effects. We reopened the applications that we had left running and reconnected to the Internet.

Problems? Disk Doctor found no disk errors, and our files were intact--at least up to the last time they were saved, but not always to the point of the last edit made. Outlook recovered without a glitch, and so did Quicken. (We didn't check disk fragmentation because some hard-drive experts told us that defragging today's faster, bigger drives has little to no effect on performance.)

If you're uneasy about just switching off the PC, change the Power Options settings. From the Control Panel, open Power Options, click the Advanced tab, and under 'Power buttons' select Hibernate. Now whenever you push the power button, Windows will save itself in its current state. Turn the computer on later, and Windows will pop up, just as you left it, in a lot less time than the system would take to boot.

Der var den til andre også :=)


Igen mange tak :D
