hibernate vs sleep

since i installed after a fresh windows installlation the dox driver and not any other driver before, i dont got hibernate anymore. so whats the different between hibernate & sleep?

thanks

 

Sleep powers down the drives and screen and whatnot leaving power to the ram and the cpu in sleep state. Cutting power looses whatevers running.

Hibernate dumps what is in ram to the hard drive and turns entirley off.

Had a use recently try to get his working right and he installed all we recommended and it ended up being the vga driver or atleast the last part was. Installing the motherboard chipset drivers and ATK ACPI driver are ones id start with.

There is very little bloatware and more useful then not things. Best results are obtained by just installing those 3 or 4 things you dont use then to not install anything at all.

 

that guy was me

but now i got a new hdd and reinstalled everything again. on the old thread i had the standartvga driver.. but now i didnt installed it.. i directly installed the dox driver. maybe the atk drivers will fix it. but if i i´m at sleep it should go into hibernateafter some hours automatically? so sleep mode would be fine if it doesnt makes the system any slower ?

thanks
