Turning Hibernation Off or On

Hibernation is automatically turned on when you first set up your
computer. If you want to turn off Hibernation, click the Hibernation
tab in Power Properties. You can also turn it back on through the
Hibernation tab. When you restart the computer, the system
automatically allocates or updates your computer's disk space to
adjust to the amount of current memory.
Setting a timeout
Timeouts are specified periods of system or component inactivity.
Timeouts work with battery conservation to conserve power. When
a timeout period has expired, battery conservation shuts down the
system or components to save power.
For example, the hard disk idle default timeout is two minutes.
Therefore, if an application does not access information on the
hard disk for two minutes, the hard disk shuts down until it is
accessed again.
Timeouts are set through the Conservation Settings or Hibernation
tabs in Power Properties. Use timeouts in the following ways:
1. Use a preset timeout provided with the medium (default) or high
level of battery conservation.
2. Set your own timeouts through the custom level of battery
conservation so that the computer works more efficiently with
your applications.
CAUTION: Turning off Hibernation is not recommended. If the
computer reaches a low-battery condition, unsaved information is lost.
