Activating and using Hibernate mode

Hibernate (also called save to disk) writes all current memory (RAM) information to the hard drive, then turns your computer completely off. The next time you turn on your computer, it reads the memory information from the hard drive and opens the programs and documents that were open when you activated Hibernate mode.
