I just bought a new comp. Should I turn it off at night or leave it on ? (I
have been given advice by people I know don't know in both directions)
Thanks for any help in advance

Technically, there is less torsion stress on the disk drives and fans when
the machine is left running. However your power consumption goes up. In the
US alone, people leaving computers on all night accounts for 10,000,000,000
plus kilowatt hours of wasted energy or $US900,000,000 plus of wasted
expenditure or the equivalent CO2 output of 1,000,000 plus cars or 2,000,000
plus acres of chopped down trees.

So the correct answer depends on if you prefer to reduce the torsion stress
on your disks and fans or if you prefer to save 2,500 kilograms or more of
carbon dioxide effluent being dumped into the atmosphere, eh.

No doubt if you choose to leave your PC running, you would also be unwilling
to plant 200 fast growing trees to compensate for your vanity and
convenience.

Good points, Kay.
It also might be worth considering switching off your surge protectors or
power strips. Over time, they can give off a considerable amount of heat,
which is energy.

Unless the hard drives set to automatically switch of at a given
interval of non use (which is set in the bios) if that's enabled the
disks will turn on and off as and when required, so the stress factor is
still there.

and there are other factors such as electromigration whereby ALL
electronic components degrade over time due to heat and electrical current.

All those fans in your case, if left on for long periods of time can
suck up an amazing amount of dust.
