Accidentally Left Desktop On - Remote Shutdown Recommendations?

[LoneWolf_Recon]

I intentionally left my desktop on for the first three days of my spring break so I could use Autocad remotely, I finished my session with it, and unfortunately closed Teamviewer in the process (My desktop is 250 miles away from me). Its Win 7 Home Premium, so no Remote Desktop and I unfortunately didn't put an SSH host on it.

Any other options for a remote shutdown? If not, can I be safe to say that my desktop can idle for a week? (The idle temps are ~25 Deg C)

Thanks

At my most negligent, I've left my computer running nonstop for like 2 weeks with slight usage over that time before finally shutting down for updates (unchecked depression really kills any drive to do even the simplest of tasks :v:). Frankly, I don't see the harm in leaving it idle for that amount of time if you're not actually using it and your hardware idles at a reasonable temperature. 25 degrees is well within reason, I'd think, so you should be fine imo. Definitely get a second opinion, though, as I'm hardly the most knowledgeable on the subject. I just know that my AMD|NVidia shitbox has weathered far worse and come out[sp]mostly[/sp]intact.

Some people almost never turn their PC off, yours will be fine idling for a week, especially with those temps

As above, you'll be fine. Only thing you'll need to worry about is the electricity bill.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm just [I]really[/I] protective of my desktop.

Just ask someone to turn it off?
I normally just ssh into it for stuff like that but I can assume It's a windows desktop.

My dorm hall is closed, I had intended to put an SSH host/Putty on it but never got around to it. Now I have a reason to do so :v:

My system automatically hibernates after an hour or so of 0 user activity, yours might do the same now you have closed teamviewer. If not, no harm done my friend keeps his pc on constantly and it still runs well after ~4 years of usage.

I first read that as you literally getting close to your tower and going "shhhh" into it to turn it off. Shows how tech-oriented my mind is :v:
