Using System Standby/Hibernate

your computer has entered System standby mode, you can restart your computer more
quickly when compared to a restart, after a normal shutdown operation. When your

state of the computer. In Windows XP, you can define System standby or System
hibernate the system enters under what conditions.

resumes from

standby , the Power indicator or the battery power indicator blinks green. To resume
from System standby , operate the computer again.
