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:
❖
While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery
power.
❖
Because the mode of the system is held on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the main battery discharges.
❖
When starting up again, Hibernation uses less time and
battery power than does Turn off computer.
❖
Resuming from Hibernation uses a little more time and
power to start up than restarting from Stand By, because
information is being retrieved from the hard disk rather
than from memory.
❖
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were previously using.
