Off or standby extended?

I have a new HP Pavilion g series system and want to know what is best to do this when I'm finished working - close, sleep or Hibernate?  Thank you

Hello:

It depends on.

Stop using the least amount of battery power when the laptop is turned off. Use this option if you plan not to use the laptop for several days or more.

Hibernate uses the second minimum of battery power and your PC back on the desktop a little faster when you turn it off completely. Maybe you would use this if you plan to use the PC every day.

Sleep uses the largest amount of energy from the battery to the stop State, but the laptop is on the office faster. I use this mode when the laptop is plugged and I intend to use it several times a day.

If you plan to pull the plug, the laptop will (should) automatically in standby mode extended if the battery runs down, but you will need to connect to the a/c adapter in order to restart.

  • Laptop is not access grub after standby extended drive

    Hi all

    I suspect a hardware problem, but I'm not 100% sure on this subject. The issue has already appeared a few days ago, but I managed to solve it by pressing F8 at the beginning upward. Now F8 does not work and I think that F8 was not at all involved, and it's only lucky shot.

    It seems the startup just stops before, or so, access to grub2. I am able to stop and restart, but there is no startup options. The mini laptop is a toshiba satellite t110-107 and normally start options appear at the bottom, F2 to access bios and F12 as a shortcut for selecting the boot device (if I remember correctly). But sometimes, they do not appear at all, I think that's when I put hibernate instead of shut down the system, but to be honest, I never paid attention to this behavior. She normally worked. Note that I use hibernate-drive and extended ram usually sleep for years, and it has always worked properly.

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice you want to give me. I will try to access the system with a shell external grub or with a different distribution of linux to re - install grub. I hope I don't have to thow away the laptop :-(

    See you soon

  • No standby extended when the cover closed on Satellite A40

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum and hope someone can be able to help.
    My Satellite A40 suffered a hard drive failure and I installed a new drive and to install Windows XP on drive.

    Everything works well except for the shares when the lid is closed.
    Blanks the screen but Windows continues to operate.

    I installed the power saver Tosiba, however, options drop-down menu in the configuration, (when I close the lid) don't box display only no Action. It's the same thing in Windows Power Options.

    Of course the lid closed sensor works, but I am at a loss as to where other options are passed in the Toshibe Power Saver and Windows Power Options Properties.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I think that the Hibernate mode is not enabled:
    Go to start? Settings? Control Panel. Make sure you have open Classic view, and then open Power Options
    In the properties of Power Options window, chose the last tab called Hibernate.

    If you are not able to see the Hibernate tab, and then Hibernate is probably not supported on your laptop. But if its visible, so you must check the option called activate the hibernation

    Click on apply or OK, and then restart Windows XP

  • Why don't my standby extended and stand-by buttons stop working on XP?

    After installing and uninstalling some programs do not work my sleep time and stand-by buttons. My laptop is Toshiba and I run Windows XP. Help, please!

    As I said above, your graphics driver (VGA controller) could be the issue. What is wrong with him? Is there a yellow? or! next to it in Device Manager? If so, you need to reinstall the driver. Most often, these drivers can be found on the website of the manufacturer of the computer. If you give me the full brand and model of your computer, I'll try to locate it for you.

    Click Start > run > type devmgmt.msc > click OK. Scroll down and look for all devices that have one of the above yellow marks.

  • My can´t PC standby or standby extended

    I have a "HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14-n005eo Ultrabook" and there have never been abel sleep or hibernation.

  • Satellite P750-02J - don't close or into hibernation

    OK, so I bought a P750/02J Satellite a little over a week ago and from the beginning, I've had to stop. It goes through the process of closing as usual, but once it reaches the blue 'close' screen freezes and it may stay that way for hours (even at night).

    Also it wont got into hibernate properly either. Once I click on the Hibernate button, it seems to work and the screen goes black, but that's all that happens. The fan still works, the lights are still on and the keyboard is always sensitive.

    It seems to be fine so I havnt been using all programs but if I previously had nothing to open, even if it has been completed correctly it doesn't turn off or standby extended as it should.

    Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

    Hi Avery8,

    May I ask what operating system you are using and the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?

    The reason is that some background programs may block the closure process so at the moment, I doubt it's hardware related issue. Interesting to know would do it if the same thing happens with factory settings (installation of recovery).

    Have connect you external devices expect AC adapter? If Yes, remove them and try again.

  • No video after the standby or sleep mode

    Hi guys. I have a mystery I hope you answer decent to. sounds like a common problem but mine has a few twists of questions on what I read.
    Whenever my monitor is turned off or goes into mode standby, the computer stops sending the video signal. The monitor not coming back unless I unplug the monitor on the back of the computer for a few minutes or I restart my computer. Sometimes a solution works while the other is not and it is not consistent.
    The monitor has been tested on another computer and it works well. I bought a graphics card, but no difference. I even tried my plasma HDTV (which became an option due to the new graphics card), but which does the same thing.

    The computer is a HP Pavilion a6219h running Vista 32 bit home premium with Service Pack 2.
    The problem was with the video output built into the motherboard.
    The monitor is a ViewSonic VX2235WM-5 model VS11349.
    Message is "No Signal" on the screen.
    I've disabled all functions of sleep, put everything forever and saved. Problem persists.

    I bought and installed a nvidia GEFORCE GT 630 graphics card. PCI PCIe passes in the BIOS. Still the same problem.
    With this new graphics card, I connected the computer to my plasma hdtv via hdmi plug. The same problem. No matter what I do, the screen works until it is either turned off or standby mode.

    It keeps it done.
    At this point, I think it must be the motherboard. I also read online that it could be the power supply? What do you think? Is there anything else I can try?
