Resolved Question: Is It Safe To Just Leave My Laptop On 24/7?

Lately my laptop has been crashing on boot up, the screen going black then flashing back then crashing. Sometimes it seems to save itself and other times it just crashes. However once its finally booted up and past the first 5 minutes hurdle of operation it runs FINE for hours. I don't want to get into the nuts and bolts of what may be ailing my machine cause those discussions are always frustrating and fruitless. I'm just wondering giving my situation is it safer to just leave the machine on and running saving me the boot up hassles, or is leaving the machine on speeding up potential hardware damage that I suspect may be the cause ?
