While using pc or laptop whenever we take a short break, we use stand by option to save power and resuming work in seconds.
In Standby mode, power is saved by shutting down the hard drives, fans and monitors. These are high power consumption devices.
The computer still uses power to save the data in memory, so you can restart very quickly (however, if power goes off while in this state, the data in memory will be lost).
So, what can be the alternative of this? We can use Hibernate option which saves power completely,
In Hibernate mode, XP saves the data in memory to the hard disk. Then the power is cut off completely, so this preserves more battery life.
When you restart, it takes a little longer because the data saved on the disk must be restored to memory. Of course, this method uses disk space to store the memory data.
In XP Hibernate option can be found in shutdown menu by holding shift key for few seconds which will change the stand by option in Hibernate, if its not working means you have to enable it by following steps:
Go to Control Panel
Power Options
On the Hibernation tab, check the box that says Enable hibernation and click OK.
Hope it will prove helpful to you all, specially it will be helpful for Laptop users who have to complete their tasks in traveling.
