I prefer standby for periods shorter then 1 hr.Hibernation is much better then shutting down, so I use it overnight.

I used to use hibernation when I would walk away from my computer for extended periods of time (several hours), but for some strange reason, Windows won't boot into a hibernated session anymore. I like hibernation - it's fast and gets me going again faster. As far as it being bad for your system - what on earth are you talking about? Instead of just dumping everything in memory after shutting down, it saves it to the disk, and reloads it later on the next bootup. I can't imagine why it would be bad for your hardware.

Hybernation is a great way to spped up boot and shutdown but the flaw is your computer NEEDS to shutdown! Only with shutdown can it clear all of its catche (slows your computer) Close a failed program that wont close even if it isnt on the screen anymore (slows your computer, damages windows) And most of all your computer can not clock cycle (used by your proccessor (no effect on speed, damages windows, damages proccesor and fan on your computer with a chance of damaging your compleate motherboard)
Hybernation is great in small doses but unless you want to pay $600 for repairs on your computer stick with shutdown at least once every two days. |

One thing to say, listen to the no-sayers.
I found hibernation, thinking that windows would have sorted tiself out sicne 98 SE (the gold old days  ) but it hasnt. I used it a few times when switchnig from my mums hosue to my dads and got back one day pressed the power button to get thnigs back and the display was wrecked...then my laptop died completely. Personally i would use standby if its for an hour or two but if its overnight just shut it down go to bed and let it finish itself off then in the morning turn it on as you get up!I remember this was a problem in 98 and probably before but how can they not have fixed it! or atleast warn people! Just be careful! My laptop was out for over a month! |

i prefer just to turn my pc off. otherwise its left on constantly. i remember one time i didnt turn it off for about 4 months straight. i ended up with 3 dead fans lol. i'm never doin taht again... but yeh. turning off saves more power and i dont mind the wait when my pc is loading up. its pretty fast anyway.

Hibernation actually turns your pc off. Unlike stand-by the data is not kept in the RAM but rather written to the harddrive and reloaded upon reboot.
Even with Hibernation you still need to do regular reboots since otherwise your system will seriously clutter up and slow down over time, this might not be evident at first but if you go for a month without restart and then reboot you'll notice the difference. Personally I don't use hibernation since I usually keep my pc running for a few days at a time and when I turn it off it is time to do a complete reboot anyways. I removed all unnecessary clutter from the startup, optimized my services (start->run->services.msc) and my computer, from pressing the power button to the complete boot with everything loaded, takes less than 13 seconds. A good tool to help you optimize bootimes is BootWiz from MS, they offered it for a while on their homepage but removed it for unknown reasons, but everybody can find it with a bit of searching. Just google it. Besides unnecessary programs cluttering your startup another major (though often overlooked) factor is drivers. Having the right, up-to-date drivers is crucial to optimizing boot times and one should also remove all unnecessary drivers from the system. Have a look at your Device Manager to make sure there are no conflicts. Also make sure your network cards are configured correctly so that they don't get stuck looking for an IP they won't receive. A good place for all kinds of tips on optimizing your system is www.sysinternals.org. They have quality tips and tricks and really know what they are talking about. |
