For example, after your computer has entered System standby mode, you can restart your computer more quickly when compared to a restart, after a normal shutdown operation. When your computer resumes from System standby/hibernate, the system restores the exact last state of the computer. In Windows, you can define System standby or System hibernate the system enters under what conditions. System standby stores the current condition of the computer in RAM and stops power supply to all but a few essential components. Your system enters and resumes from System standby per the conditions mentioned later. In System standby, the Power indicator or the battery power indicator blinks green. To resume from System standby, operate the computer again. System hibernate saves the current condition of the computer in an area of the hard disk and turns off the computer. Your system enters and resumes from System hibernate per the conditions mentioned later. In System hibernate, the power indicator or the battery power indicator turns off. To resume from System hibernate, press the power button. 3 When entering/resuming from System standby/hibernate, follow the instructions below:

Finish communications, printing, and playing music or video before entering System standby/hibernate. Do not operate the computer or peripheral devices, or connect/disconnect peripheral devices, while entering/resuming from System standby/hibernate. While operating with a battery, the computer may not resume from System standby/hibernate if the battery capacity is not enough. In this case, connect the AC adapter to your computer. Save your data before your computer enters System standby. If the power supply to the computer is stopped, the RAM contents will be lost. Select the user account if you see them when the computer resumes from System standby/hibernate. Supporting System Hibernate If your battery becomes completely discharged during System standby, you will lose unsaved data and will need to reboot your computer. Therefore, if you are planning to leave your computer powered by battery for long periods of time, we recommend System hibernate. 3-13 Confirm that System hibernate is supported by the following steps below. 1. 2.

Common Problems Problems with your computer can be caused by something as minor as an unplugged power cord or as major as a damaged hard disk drive. The information in this troubleshooting section is designed to help you find and solve minor problems. If you still have a problem after trying all the suggested remedies in this chapter, contact your dealer. The problems that you might encounter can be divided into two basic categories:

hardware and software. Hardware problems can be further divided into being of an electrical or a mechanical nature. You will know you have a hardware problem if, for example, the screen is blank, or the computer cannot recognize the disk drives. Software problems can occur at several levels. Both your operating system and your software application programs are capable of generating errors and error messages. If you encounter a software error, try to determine if the error message is from your operating system or from an application program, and refer to the appropriate manual for possible remedies. You can also refer to the Windows manual or Windows Help program to solve the problem. To access the Help program, click Start - Help (for Windows 2000) or start Help and Support (Windows XP Professional). It also gives you Troubleshooting tips and an Index.
