the display or hard drive after a time interval that you specify.

and then click Adjust Power Properties.
2. Click the Power Schemes tab.
3. Select the power scheme you wish to modify, and adjust
options in the lists on the screen.

when the notebook is turned on, resumes from standby, or
restores from hibernation.

and then click Adjust Power Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
