I'm a little concerned about leaving my pc on hashing away 24/7 ! has anyone run into any problems ?!

Turn your PC off, remove your CPU cooler, and turn your PC back on. Watch what happens.
Fail safe in action.
Don't worry about fires, it won't happen. Your PC will shut down WAY before that happens, whether you are CPU or GPU mining.
I've fried CPUs, and GPUs by having a poorly secured cooler or a broken fan on the cooler. I've heard there is a failsafe on ATI cards, but I wouldn't personally try it. But you'd definitely get a fried card before you got a fire, unless your power supply was faulty, which can happen but it's rare.
