    If Satndby Mode keeps power going to RAM so it can keep the Current Win Seson  then why is Hibernate the only one that saves the informatin??
    If it get lst  on Standby then why keep power to RAM?

    Or am I missing something

    Information about the session is stored in the RAM.

    This means the computer will boot up instantly.

      If Standby the information is put into RAM so it starts back up faster.
      How can this bee if RAM gets turned off it will loss data?

      I know it runs slower from the Battery power to keep the Data but then I foundout the power fluxuates so the data gets lost.

      Stand-by mode is a low power mode that drastically lowers power consumption. RAM still requires electricity, on account of having this quirk whereby the removal of power results in the loss of it's contents. Chances are since all the programs are in memory it would be a bad move to do otherwise.

      hibernate saves the RAM to disk and shuts off the computer. when turned on,  instead of going through the normal boot process, it will fill RAM with the hibernation file, and then resume where it was.

      How many times will you ask the same questions? 

      the real question is how many times must we para-phrase previously provided answers...

      A few marbles ???

      In Standby mode information saved in RAM is NOT lost unless power is disconnected/switched off/fails.....   In Hibernate mode a snapshot of RAM is saved to the hard disk.....   In Standby mode power is NOT INTENTIONALLY disconnected from RAM.....  The difference is that re-starting from Standby is much quicker than from Hibernate.....

      Which option is selected is decided by the USER, YOU.....

      It seems that you have not bothered to read the information in the posted link CLICK HERE ------> READ THIS...

      My final offering on the subject - I'm outa here..
