Turning Off the Computer

For best results, when using Microsoft Windows Vista, do not shut down the computer, except when you must turn off the power for safety reasons, such as to make repairs, install new hardware or cards in the computer chassis, or change a battery.

As an alternative to shutting down the computer, you can lock it or put it into either Sleep or Hibernate mode, if it is available. You can set the power management timers to put the computer automatically into Sleep or Hibernate mode.

Sleep and Hibernate modes are power states. Sleep mode saves your work to memory, so you can resume quickly; saves your work to the hard disk; and then goes to a reduced-power state. During Sleep mode, the computer hardware light remains on, and the computer is ready to wake quickly and resume your work where you left off. Hibernate mode saves the system memory to a temporary file on the hard disk and then turns off the hardware.

Some computers also have a reduced-power state called Away mode. Away mode turns off the display and mutes the audio, but otherwise keeps the computer operational. During Away mode, the computer can perform tasks such as recording a scheduled TV program or streaming video and music files to a remote location.

Using Shut Down

For best results, when using Windows Vista, turn off the computer without pressing any buttons on the computer chassis.
