power consumption. This state stops the CPU clock and puts all

peripherals into low power mode. To return the system to the active

state, press any key or power switch on your system.

power management state that saves the state of the system and

peripheral devices in memory (RAM). Power consumption reduces

the active state, press any key or the power switch on your

computer.

System Hibernation –Provides for the lowest level of power

consumption. The system writes the state of the system and

peripheral devices to the hard disk and turns off the system power.

To return the system to the original state, use the power switch to

turn on power. The system saves the data in the Save to Disk

Partition on the hard drive.

LCD (Video) Standby –Turns off the LCD to save power. If you

turn off the Video Standby timer in the AC Power-Profile Editor,
