Learning the Basics
Powering down the computer
Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:
❖
While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery
power.
❖
Because the mode of the system is held on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the main battery discharges.
❖
When starting up again, Hibernation uses less time and
battery power than does Turn Off.
❖
Resuming from Hibernation uses a little more time and
power to start up than restarting from Standby, because
information is being retrieved from the hard disk rather
than from memory.
❖
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.
NOTE
Configuring your computer for Hibernation
1 Click Start, Control Panel, and then Performance and
Maintenance.
2 In the Control Panel window, double-click the TOSHIBA
Power Saver icon.
3 Click the Setup Action tab.
If you place your computer into either Standby or Hibernation
mode immediately after the system has resumed from either
mode, the computer may not properly reenter the selected
mode.
When resuming your computer from either Standby or
Hibernation mode, make sure to wait until the system
completes the process before placing the system back into
either mode (approximately 1 minute). If the computer does
not reenter into Standby or Hibernation mode properly, restart
the computer.
