Put computer into the suspended state.(Windows Vista and Windows 7 only) Note that usually the PC automatically enters the Hibernation state after default 3 hours, but some applications (such as recording or CD/DVD burning) can turn off the sleep timer to prevent the PC from entering the Hibernation state. |
