Hibernate saves an image of your desktop with all open files and documents, and powers down your computer. When you turn on power, your files and documents are open on your desktop exactly as you left them.
Standby reduces the power consumption of your computer by cutting power to hardware components you are not using. Standby can cut power to peripheral devices, your monitor, and even your hard drive, but maintains power to your computer's memory so you don't lose your work.
Standby reduces power consumption from about 50 to 2.5 watts, while Hibernate reduces it from about 50 to 1.8 watts, since modern computers are always using some power even when "off".
Since the difference in the amount of power saved is insignificant and users are more likely to get in the habit of choosing standby because it is faster, standby may be the best choice for environmentally conscious users.
In the hibernation state, the computer is essentially turned-off. When it starts up again, it remembers all that it had running previously and loads them up for you. You could unplug it or change batteries and it wouldn't have to do a full restart.
In the standby state, the computer shuts off everything except the processor and memory (and sometimes the network interface). This is a power saving mode and the computer takes very little time to go from the standby state to the 'fully-on' state.
In hibernation, the computer actually turns off, but stores any open programs in it's memory. Hibernation therefore requires free disk space, but over longer periods of time, it saves more power than standby mode. Standby is basically where all of the hardware turns off (screen etc.) but the computer is still running.
hibernation
sleep mode.
Check your control panel settings. You may have instructed the system to go into Standby or Hibernation mode after a certain amount of time.
When you use standby mode on any electric appliances, the "phantom" steals the electricity because standby mode still uses electricity.
Turning off your system actually puts it in standby. Simply push the power button and the PS3 will go to standby. You can also select shut down PS3 in the PS3 menus to shut the system down to standby mode.
The standby mode power consumption of 50W1-30100 is right around 0.3W
A computer in Hibernation mode can not do any activity, including downloading. Hibernation mode saves all information that was in your computer's memory to the hard drive and physically powers off.
click start then shut down. there should be a mode called standby with a orange box with lines in the shape of a circle.
Putting your computer in standby mode suspends all process on your computer, so no.
hibernate mode
Standby, power mode
hi Try turning off your computer at the mains and then restart it hopefully then it should come of hibernation mode
