If the processor's temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with
either setting, the computer will automatically shut down to prevent any
damage - in this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.
Hibernation Mode This feature lets you turn off the power to the
computer without exiting from your software. The
contents of main memory are automatically
saved to the hard disk drive so that when you
next turn the power on again, you can continue
working right where you left off. Refer to the
Turning off the power section in Chapter 3,
Getting Started, for more details.
Sleep Mode If you have to interrupt your work, you can use
this feature to allow you to turn off power to the
computer without exiting from your software. Data
is maintained in the computer's main memory so
that when you next turn on the power, you can
continue working right where you left off.
