This means that the PC can recover very quickly. At the same time, hard drive and monitor are turned off and the PC is set to low-consumption mode, but it’s still powered, so you may end up running out of battery if you’re working with a laptop –and therefore lose all the data saved in RAM.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.insidetonic.com/standby-or-hibernate-thats-the-question/"><P>On the contrary, <STRONG>Hibernate</STRONG> means completely shutting down the PC, with no power consumption at all. Data is saved to the hard drive, which is safer, but on the downside, this method is much slower than Standby when it comes to recover the PC. In any case, it’s still faster than a complete reboot, as the computer doesn’t need to check any hardware.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.insidetonic.com/standby-or-hibernate-thats-the-question/"><P>One last tip: if you don’t see the “Hibernate” option when shutting down the computer, try pressing the Shift key. If it’s still missing, then you’ll probably have to turn it on from the <STRONG>Control Panel – Power options</STRONG> menu. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EB897408-DC3B-4924-BD99-C130C823B451/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
