What is Hibernation:
Hibernation saves the contents in memory to disk in compressed form, allowing the computer to be turned completely off. Again, you can resume with your desktop and applications intact. Many newer laptops resume from hibernate in 20 seconds to 30 seconds, but the actual time it takes to do this is heavily dependent upon the contents in memory at the time you choose to hibernate your computer.
It can save you between 20-70 seconds of booting time.
How to enable Hibernation ?
# Make sure you're logged onto your PC as Administrator or as a user with Administrator rights.
# You can check the status of your user account by going to Start | Control Panel and selecting the User Account icon.
# Your account should be listed there.
# If it says Computer Administrator you have the rights to make this change.
# To show the Hibernate option under shutdown, select Start | Control Panel, and select the Performance and Maintenance icon.
# Select the Power Options icon under "or pick a Control Panel Icon."
# Select the Hibernate tab, and click on the Enable Hibernation box.
# If Hibernate still doesn't appear, it may be because your PC is fairly new and supports the Stand By low-power shut-down option.
# To make Hibernate appear in the Turn Off Your Computer dialogue, simply hold down the Shift key and Stand By will switch to Hibernate.
# You need to hold down the Shift key to see and use the Hibernate shut-down option
