Hibernation Saves energy But Has Risks

You always face this debate that is it a good idea to save time and electricity by using the "hibernate mode" in Windows XP.
Windows XP users are sometimes familiar with the idea of an idle computer "going to sleep." You call it "standby mode" in Windows XP, "sleep mode" in Windows Vista and Windows 7. When you will touch your keyboard, click on the mouse or open the laptop's lid, your PC awakens. For your Windows XP desktops, an interruption of power during standby mode causes unsaved files to be lost. But if you are in a sleep mode, you will not lose files this way.
You can define Hibernate as a deeper sleep for PCs that was designed mainly for laptops. This process conserves battery power for a laptop because the PC saves your work to the hard disk and shuts off. When your Windows XP computer awakens, it starts up faster than it ordinarily would, because its previous activities are retrieved from the hard disk. What ever you were working on when your PC entered hibernate mode returns to the screen.
Always remember that the main disadvantage to hibernate mode is that the PC's settings do not get renewed periodically, as they do when a PC is shut down in the traditional way. By this it is a bit more likely that your PC will have a problem and need to be rebooted which could cause an open file to be lost in your Windows XP. If your PC do not support hibernate mode, then you can go to the Start menu in your "shutdown" option and look to see if hibernate features among the alternatives.
