Any program on your computer cannot continue working while the computer is turned off. However, many programs have ways to save their work before you turn off your computer so they can resume the work they were doing the next time you run them.
A computer is loading data when it is turned on and the operating system is being loaded.
Generally it's called "booting up" the system
I'm pretty sure that's the POST or the Power On Self Test.
operating system is not a loading, When is trun on system(press the power button). first of checked all the hardware devices,for exmple hard disk,ram,rom and etc. When the all devices dected process further. Jsb
it generally does but you have to connect it whilst the computer is running and fully functional with nothing loading. The PC can not be turned off when you connect the iPod for itunes to appear.
Obviously not in normal circumstances. Can a dead man make a cup of coffee? That said, there are apparently certain routers that can continue your downloads with your computer turned off.
You can use torrents, and I recommend you use Bittorent or utorrent. Torrents are an easy and relatively safe way to download files.
After the recent limewire crash, people have been looking for a new place to download music. Many have turned to Shareaza, another free music downloading program.
Normally, the floppy drive light comes on so the computer can tell if there is a boot disk in there. If there is a floppy in the drive that is not a boot disk the windows will stop loading until the floppy is removed.
If you see pictures, then your computer screen is turned on.
You probably mean "hybernate"; that refers to a computer saving all contents of its memory (RAM) to hard disk, so that it can be turned off, kept off indefinitely without using power, then turned on again (and memory reloaded from the hard disk), to let the user continue right where he was. For instance, any documents that were open when the computer was hibernated will be immediately available after resuming.
If the ps3 turned off while it was saving or loading something, it may have corrupted the ps3.
