How does putting a computer on hibernate work?
Answers:
Ok, hibernating a computer is like shutting it down, but it isn't COMPLETELY shut down. The hardware, for the most part, no longer uses power when in hibernation BUT the RAM cache remains in the excact same state it was when you started up. When you shut down, the RAM chache is completely powered down, losing all unsaved data. Basically, if you hibernate, it'll start back up again in the exact same state as you left it.
you just click hibernate where ever it may be located on your comp.
how it works is it normally locks your comp if you have multiple users and shuts down your running programs such as Internet. and saves your files.
and basically rest.
ram stays in exact state as when it was before you put in hibernate.
When you hibernate, everything shuts down except the ram, so that when you start it back up, it looks exactly the same as it did when you shut down.
