Sleep or hibernate, where should we go?

Hey, do you know there are ways to save the battery power for long duration. You need not have to shutdown down the computer every time, when you wish to go off from it for a mean time. There are options of sleep and hibernate which fulfill this criteria.

Sleep is a power saving mode that allows a computer to quickly resume all the applications which were earlier running in your system. It’s just like pausing a DVD player and playing again when you wish to do so.

Hibernate is also a power saving mode, designed especially for laptops or portable computers. While sleep draws small amount of power by keeping open documents and applications into the memory, hibernate do so by keeping them in hard disk and turns off your computer. It takes less amount of power in comparison with all other power saving modes available in the computer system.

So it has been cleared that hibernate is best in comparison with sleep power saving mode, so you should go for hibernate if you are selecting between these two choices.

It may happen sometimes hibernate option is not shown in the list of power saving modes. The steps to bring back hibernate option in ‘windows 7/ vista’ are as follows,

·         Go to start button having windows logo on it, type cmd in the search box, right click on it and run as administrator.

·         Type the command, ‘powercfg /hibernate on’, as the command prompt dialogue box got opened.

·         This will enable hibernate option which will appear under start menu.

·         Enjoy using hibernate power saving mode.

If hibernate option still doesn’t appear, follow the following steps,

·         Go to start menu and click to open control panel.

·         Click ‘hardware and sound’, and then power options.

·         A window will get open, at the left side of the window click to ‘change when computer sleeps’.

·         Click to ‘change advanced power settings’ in the window that get open.

·         Navigate to sleep, then to ‘sleep after’ and in ‘allow hibernate sleep’ option, turn to ‘off’ in the settings.

·         Your hibernate option will appear in the start menu, and enjoy using it.

Guys, this will show hibernate option in your start menu, if still you face the problem it might happen video card doesn’t support it. For this you have to update the drivers of your video card and information to do so came in the manual provided to you when you have purchased your computer and its video card. It may also happen it may turn off in the BIOS setting of your computer. For this enter the BIOS settings by pressing the function key specified to do so by your manufacturer. Turn on the power saving modes and enjoy using hibernate. Let me remind you that sleep mode takes battery power more in comparison with hibernate. However if you are in sleep mode and your battery is dying, windows will automatically transfer it into hibernate option.
