To hibernate your PC, first you have to enable hibernation. Right-click on your desktop and click on properties to get to display properties. Click on Screen Saver and then on Power near the bottom of the box. Go to the Hibernate tab and then click 'Enable Hibernation'. Then click 'Start', 'Turn off computer', then hold down shift and the Stand By button should become Hibernate. Click on that and then your computer will go into hibernation. To start it up again, just push the power button on your computer.

Computer hibernate mode is what happens when the computer is not in use for a certain amount of time. Different companies set different amount of times until hibernate mode is triggered. There are 2 stages of hibernate mode. They are:

  • A black background with the company logo moving on different areas of the screen.
  • A completely black screen and the light by the power button usually goes from gfeen to orange.
The first stage of hibernate mode is preset by the manufacturer. It can be changed to something more personal, such as a picture of the family vacation or something of the sort. The first stage of hibernate mode is also normally called the screen-saver.

The hibernate mode can be deactivated by just simply moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard. Many people prefer to move the mouse, because pressing a button can accidentally trigger something on the waiting screen.
The second stage of hibernate mode is also normally called sleep mode. Hibernate mode saves more energy as is, because stages one and two of hibernate mode, together, are also know as power saving mode.

Hibernate is a power saving feature found on some computers. Hibernate saves more energy than sleep mode by saving the contents of the RAM to the hard drive and shutting down.

What is difference between Stand by and hibernate mode in Windows?

Stand by in windows is where the computer is still turned on and will resume when you want it to. Hibernate is where it saves your session (keeps what you are doing, yes everything) and then turns off the computer. When it is turned back on your session will be restored.


Where and when are hibernate and stand by used?

When you set your system into Hibernate Mode you're programs will load up quicker than when you do a normal shutdown. Hibernate mode writes an image of what you're currently working on to a special file on your hard drive, and then shuts your computer almost completely off. It takes a bit longer than Standby, since it needs to write to your hard drive. Hibernate also takes a bit longer to resume, since you must go through essentially the normal boot process, although in Windows XP your computer wakes faster from Hibernate than in previous versions of Windows. The advantage is that you can leave your laptop in Hibernate mode for days without any ill effect. When you start it back up, you'll see everything exactly as you left it. Hibernate is the perfect mode for shutting down for the night or even the weekend.
