How long can I maintain my PC surrounded by hybernation? Is it not risk-free to keep hold of it for a long?
How long can I maintain my PC surrounded by hybernation? Is it not risk-free to keep hold of it for a long?
First, hibernation is NOT sleep or standby. Hibernation take the contents of your computer's RAM and saves it to the strong drive. So, as long as your computer physically works (like, you don't dunk it in dampen, drop it onto concrete, don't leave it for 15 years) you should know how to come out of Hybernation just fine. No time edges are involved, and it's totally safe.
Standby is another issue. It keep your computer RAM contents in RAM, and keep a trickle of electricity going to the CPU also...so it does use power. If you're on battery, afterwards a newer laptop will last at most minuscule a few hours on standby, probably more. Plugged into the wall and they'll stay in standby indefinitely.
The solitary unsafe thing around either of these two modes failing would possibly be that anything you had accessible might not be saved - it'd be lately like pulling the plug on the computer or have a power outage. And while that's not good for the computer, it happen all the time and cause only mild side effects that most citizens won't ever notice.
So, grain free to put your computer in hibernation mode for as long as you close to.
well, if u save it on sleep for a really long time, ull probably get a substantial elctricity bill ..
You can keep it within hiber as long as you want and it won't hurt a thing. One entry about computers is that when they walk into stasis or get cut stale from the world they come back impossible to tell apart way as you departed them when you turn them back on.
As long as your system is stable, and works fine even going into hibernation for a few minutes, you should be fine for long period of time. You can do this for as long as you like, it shouldn't hurt anything.
Best of luck.
