IRQs Activity Monitoring:

The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it causes an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.

When one of the specified events occurs, the count down for entry into the power saving mode goes back to zero. Since the computer will enter a power saving mode only after a specified inactivity delay (time specific for Doze, Standby and Suspend modes) and after there has been no activity during this time period, any event will cause the computer to re-count the time elapsed. Resume events are operations or signals that cause the computer to resume time counting.
