re: Auto Turnoff of notebooks Friday, March 17, 2006 at 11:10 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6528 messages posted) When it hibernates, it is off. Standby is the mode that it is in a low power state but not "off".. The difference between a normal shutdown and hibernate is that hibernate saves the current state of the system (everything in RAM) to the hard drive and shuts down. When restarting from hibernate, instead of the machine booting to a clean running state, it dumps the saved memory state back into memory and resumes with all of your apps and previous running state as if you never shut it off, except that you did.... If for some reason an error is detected when resuming from hibernate, then you get a warning and Windows will clean boot, so it's best not to rely on hibernate if you have important work in progress. Always save any work before going into hibernate if you must.
