Hayburner - 9/24/2010 02:04 I know sleep mode has gotten better with newer machines....I just can't bring myself to trust it enough to use it. I watch others use it without problem, but just can't do it myself without thinking about having to rebuild a machine because it got corrupted. I hear you. I think the biggest concern is when the battery is getting poor. When in sleep mode, the computer is supposed to monitor when the battery has become drained. With a certain percentage left, it is supposed to automatically kick into hibernate mode. If the battery is dying (due to age normally), it might not have enough to fully enter hibernate mode. Corruption is an option then. |
