No problem but it is not required as everything turns off after shutting down windows.

It's never a problem. I do that too.
It should never cause any problems unless done before shutting down the Windows!

You must mean from your dedicated NIC. lol..I see it too at night but it doesnt bother me, as I have a modem and router blinking constantly. Just close your eyes and you won't see it.

You'll have to check the motherboard battery from time to time,because the settings in the bios will only be kept by that when you do this and will it be empty sooner.

Not the NIC, the one that indicates there's power from the PSU shining through my case's window lol

I haven't had any problems with the BIOS or the settings

Yes, what I'm asking if it's okay to switch off the PSU everytime, or should if I should leave it on

Yes I know, but that doesn't seem to be a big issue to me, if that were to happen I would only have to replace the battery
