Changing Notebook Power Settings; Changing The Power Plan - Gateway Notebook Reference Manual

Using power saving modes
Always save your work before using Sleep mode. In Sleep
mode, your notebook reduces or turns off the power to most
devices except memory. However, the information in memory
is not saved to the hard drive. If power is interrupted, the
information is lost.
When in Hibernate mode, your notebook saves all memory
information to the hard drive, then turns the power
completely off.

changing power settings on your notebook.
You can customize power settings from the Windows Mobility
Center by selecting power plans and adjusting advanced
power settings.

Changing the power plan

Power plans (groups of power settings) let you change power
saving options such as when the display or hard drive is
automatically turned off. You can select one of the defined
power plans or create a custom power plan.
