Don't turn off your XP, HIBERNATE it

I have 1.49GB of the Ram on my laptop computer device and sometimes if I don't close all my programs or nearly all of them I get a WINDOWS SYSTEM ERROR of all things when I try to hibernante.

an error with windows?

that's what I thought! must have been a first the world over.

so needless to say I pull the plug on that B-word 9.99/10

 

Hibernate is best used for laptops.

At work a laptop can take a good few minutes to load everything from a cold boot. If you are out and about you don't wanna waste a few minutes to start the computer up.

 

yea I hardly ever turn off my pc lol

 

i do hybernate when i need to turn computer off and will be on later in the same day.

 

hibernate is nice and fast. I wonder how much of an actual difference hibernating and shut down make to laptops and pc's.

 

dude....if dat had been the case...then there wud b no turn off option.....ur memory will b screwed up!!

 

Hibernations is good, but turn off is turn off, clean all the memory cache and some more other stuff.

 

id better turn it off cause if i hibernate for along time id still consume electricity. better turn it off to save electricity bills.

 

Me too, I never shut down my laptop until get some exception

 

But this doesn't have to do with the ram. A windows error is probably something in the software.. I think if you format you computer then you will fix the error.

 

No there's no energy consumption. I'm hibernating my PC (not laptot, so there's no batteries) and plug off the power cord. Then, after several days I can restore to the saved state because it was saved on disk.

 

What software ? Like what I have open at the time?

I'll take the easy path and blame windows.

 

It all depends...for example, MS Office uses an incredible amount of system resources when it is open...the problem is when you close it, not all of those processes quit. They therefore remain in the cache, and block space...this is why a) you need to shut down your comp and B) you need to defrag every now and then. But then again, I am not sure about what you are running and the amount of system resources they take, you could just be overloading your processor, causing it to run hot and freeze up....I used to do that till I got a cooling pad for my laptop.

 

hate when they cache!

I type with my laptop sitting on a bin of dry ice to keep that sucker under 150 degrees F

 

I just close my laptop to hibernate. I am too lazy to shut it down and hate waiting for it to load up.

 

Hibernation is good and also save some times. I always do with my PC anc Laptop.

 

if the laptop won't shut off - hold the power button until it does, then when booting do some tests or ??

 

ITs Dangerous when u want attach someone's HDD in PC.....But not cause prob if both hav same motherboard configuration.......Well i m too tired so just disable it.....NO NEEED

 

I never use hibernate - I just leave my rig on all the time!
