Activating and using Hibernate mode
Hibernate (also called save to disk) writes all current memory (RAM) information
to the hard drive, then turns your computer completely off. The next time you
turn on your computer, it reads the memory information from the hard drive
and opens the programs and documents that were open when you activated
Hibernate mode.
