The best thing to do is to keep the machine on 24/7/365 and just shut the LCD off when not in use. This approach will minimize the number of heating/cooling cycles that adversely affect the GPU and SouthBridge.

Sorry i didnt undrstand , but you mean power off lcd when i not use, and how i make it? like hibernate?

No sleep/hibernation/standby.

Press Fn+F3 to shut the screen off and that's it.
