indefinitely. Restoring information from the hard drive takes 
longer than restoring it from memory. When you start up 
again, the computer runs a self-test, loads the operating 
system, and then returns to the state in which you left it.

Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation mode:

❖

While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery 
power.

❖

Because the state of the system is held on the hard disk, 
no data is lost if the battery discharges.

❖

Restarting from Hibernation mode uses less time and 
battery power than restarting from Turn Off.

❖

Restarting from Hibernation mode uses a little more time 
and battery power than restarting from Stand By because 
information is being retrieved from the hard disk instead 
of memory.

❖

When starting up again, the computer returns to the state 
in which you left it, including all open programs and files 
you were using.

The Stand By command puts the computer into a power-
saving mode. Stand By holds the current state of the 
computer in memory so that, when you restart the computer, 
you can continue working from where you left off. 

Factors to consider when choosing Stand By:

❖

While in Stand By mode, the computer uses some battery 
power. A fully charged battery will last up to eight hours 
in Stand By mode.
