Yes, it will! But you can use a Power Stopper device, this will solve this common and anoying problem! It just costs 199 Dollar... I sell it :-D

No, but sometimes it's a good idea to give it a good shake, just to re-energise all those electrons that are inside it and keep it nice and snappy.

I turned mine on it's side to see if my three 980 cards would run cooler. They did run a bit cooler because when upright the bottom cards heat would go up causing the top card to run much hotter.

What would happen if you turned your monitor on it's side?  Reductio ad absurdum, non? 

I can't believe anyone would get upset by as silly post, a sense of humor is a blessing and going through life in a huff is no life at all.

This is a good idea. Since an electricity supply normally has live and neutral wires, neutral being the route by which the used electricity returns to the power station after going around inside the PC. Leaving the PC tipped over might save on the cost of power cables by needing only the live wire in future.
