Turning off the computer
Turning off the computer
When you power down the computer, you have three options to
choose from: Shut down, Hibernation, and Standby. Each method
has its advantages.
Shut down command
The Shut down command shuts the computer down completely.
When you start up again, the computer runs a self-test and loads
the operating system. You must open any programs and files you
want to use.
Factors to consider when choosing Shut down:
❖
No power is used while the computer is shut down. This is the
most efficient mode if you will be away from your computer
for an extended time.
❖
Restarting from Shut down uses the most time and battery
power.
❖
When starting up again, the system does not automatically
open programs and files you were previously using.
Hibernation command
Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it first
saves the current mode of the computer to the hard disk. Since
Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain the saved
information, the system settings are retained indefinitely.
Restoring information from the hard drive takes longer than
restoring it from memory. When you start up again, the computer
runs a self-test, loads the operating system, and then returns to the
mode in which you left it.
Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation mode:
❖
While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery
power.
