Power settings, performance, efficiency, sleep, shut down, hibernate on windows 7 - video tutorial

Hi friends, today we will talk about energy management and computer performance, we use this 7 Windows operating system and the options it has for Power Management.

The tutorial will explain in detail about the three methods of shutting down the computer, the first method is the one used by everyone, namely Shut Down, this mode is the most used but not the most comfortable, by using Shut Down, the system operating system must make a greater effort at startup and implicitly will require a longer startup time, besides we can not save the session, ie we can not keep on the desktop the windows and documents we are working on, apart from these disadvantages we also have a great advantage, namely the stability of the computer, in this power off state nothing bad can happen to the pc if something happens to the power supply, all the components in the system being disconnected.

A second option is sleep or standby mode on Windows XP as it was called, the method stops and restarts the computer very quickly because all documents and windows are kept in RAM which is the only food component in the Sleep state, besides these advantages We have a big disadvantage, namely instability in case of power failure or errors that may occur when using shoddy memory, Sleep method is recommended only for short periods of time within a few hours.

The third and best method is Romaneste Hibernate or Sleep, it is similar and the Sleep, Hibernation only difference is that it uses your hard drive to store data on RAM so any component does not require power because the hard drive does not require power to retain data it stores data in a non-volatile, the disadvantage to this method is to use hard drive will use space on partition C: equivalent to RAM installed on the system, if you just 2 2 Giga Giga RAM on the C: drive will be needed for hibernation.

Sleep and Shut Down options are enabled since the installation of Windows 7, Hibernate mode is not enabled, to enable or disable this command must use the sites below:

CMD, has launched an administrator.

Windows 7

Starting hibernate mode “powercfg / hibernate on” (without quotes)

Stopping hibernate mode “powercfg / hibernate off” (without quotes)

On Windows XP and Windows Vista Hibernate mode is active after installation on Windows XP so disabling as well as activation can be very simple control panel on Windows Vista hibernate option can be disabled using the sites cammand below:

CMD, has launched an administrator.

On Windows Vista

Stopping hibernate mode "powercfg -h off" (without quotes)

Starting hibernate mode “powercfg -h on” (without quotes)

      • Hello. If it does not have the keyboard illuminated from the factory, you can not do it unless you upgrade it. You mean you go to a service and ask to change your keyboard with one with illuminated keys. This is a good idea, the price of keyboard and workmanship.

  • You forgot to say or maybe you didn't have time to test this because if you have 2 or more HDDs you will hear a rumble (turned off second hard disk ... etc) if after it stops you enter the other second, third .. etc hard disk, so it is best for those with more HDD to put 0 or never to power HDD

    • jabiilord: Forgot to say or may not have had time to test it if you 2 or more HDDs will hear a hothead (on off second hard drive ... etc) if after stops in the second The third .. hard disk etc, so it's best that those with more HDDs 0 or never put the HDD power  

      Thanks for the clarification, it's good that more will come and supplemented.
      Stop waiting for us.

  • Good tutorial Christ. It's really helpful hibernation! But I have a question: If you leave messenger bag open and remain available PC into hibernation?

    • deaconuandrei: Good tutorial Christ. It's really helpful hibernation! But I have a question: If you leave messenger bag open and remain available PC into hibernation?  

      I do not believe you as you remain available, I'll remain open and netul messenger if you have the RDS, when you open a PC will go online soon.
      For those who have RDS (PPPoE) connection will be lost in standby or in hibernation, but there's nothing like a remake with a simple click.

        I know it's super hard because I played for a while and that has ParallelsDesktop a MacBook and I was useful.

    • sailorriver: I see only the first 55 sec. the tutorial, then intrerupe.Mai anyone has this problem?  

      Yes, those net from RDS happens to you, we all said let's RDS in one ear after 7 speed decreases awful night. Including me I have this problem during the day download speed reaches 3-4MB and evening 120KB / s, and you call and make complaints to the RDS. I'll call you tomorrow and if it will work will look for another provider's simple!

  • I do not know what to intamplat.De enhancements have problems.
    Not incarca.Urmaresc 1,2 .. 10 minutes then returns to zero.Acest Videotile. incarca.Am not tried on Mozilla and IE and Chrome but to no avail.
    I have Windows 7 32bit, internet and a calculation of RDS. above average endowments (much).

      For those who are "in a hurry" do not have "time" to read comments or they are simply lazy to do so I give you a copy paste to what I said above to someone like you:

  • Good tutorial. I have a 'problem' to call it that ... I have 3 partitions on my computer ... C: D: E :. I reinstalled windows 7, and I wanted to format and delete the C: and E: partitions and make only 2, D: to leave it unchanged and one of the space left from deleting C: and E :. After I formatted the two and deleted them, I didn't manage to make a single one of them ... it still shows me that they were Unpartitioned space logical partitions and I can't enlarge them or do what I said before. up. I hope you understood my explanation.

    • Sergiu: Good toturialul. I have a 'problem' to call it that ... I 3 computer partitions ... C: D: E:. I reinstalled windows 7, and I wanted to format and delete partitions C: and E: and do just 2, D:'s leave him unchanged and one of the remaining space of deleting C: and E:. After you have formatted the two and I wiped, I could not do one single of them ... I still look just as they were logical partitions Unpartitioned space and large or can not do what I said above. I hope you understand my explanation.  

      The explanation is very simple, you can not merge partitions at different ends 2! Than 2 partitions located side by side.

      The C is on the outside of the disc The D is in the middle and the E is towards the center of the disc. Between them is the D partition, so you can't join the 2 partitions because you have one between them (the D) is a "theory" taken logically.

      You can join a single space or D C D C E E No way as any you! Brains put into operation and thinking, logical thinking is formed by assimilating the situation to one found in another area, or in real life! Here's an example:

      You 2 pipes, and between them a wall, you can join?

      But if you have a wall behind 2 and pipes, you can join?

      Logical thinking very often give results!

      • Adrian: The explanation is very simple, you can not merge partitions at different ends 2! 2 than one partition located near alta.C is outside the disk D is in the middle and E is to the middle of the disc. Each partition is D, so you can not merge the partitions 2 you one among them (Mr.) a "theory" logic.Poti taken together in a single space C to D or D to E No way C and E as any you! Brains put into operation and thinking, logical thinking is formed by assimilating the situation to one found in another area, or in real life! Here's an example: You 2 pipes, and between them a wall, you can join? But if you have a wall behind 2 and pipes, you can join? Logical thinking very often give results!  (Cite me)

        Thanks for the explanation ... I explained the problem nicely to you, you don't have to talk like that ...

    • ploeVery interesting! Going to "test"! Maybe "produce" tutorials about optimizing Windows 7!
