What is computer hibernate mode?
To hibernate your PC, first you have to enable hibernation. Right-click on your desktop and click on properties to get to display properties. Click on Screen Saver and then on Power near the bottom of the box. Go to the Hibernate tab and then click 'Enable Hibernation'. Then click 'Start', 'Turn off computer', then hold down shift and the Stand By button should become Hibernate. Click on that and then your computer will go into hibernation. To start it up again, just push the power button on your computer.

What is difference between Stand by and hibernate mode in Windows?
Stand by in windows is where the computer is still turned on and will resume when you want it to. Hibernate is where it saves your session (keeps what you are doing, yes everything) and then turns off the computer. When it is turned back on your session will be restored.
Where and when are hibernate and stand by used?
When you set your system into Hibernate Mode you're programs will load up quicker than when you do a normal shutdown. Hibernate mode writes an image of what you're currently working on to a special file on your hard drive, and then shuts your computer almost completely off. It takes a bit longer than Standby, since it needs to write to your hard drive. Hibernate also takes a bit longer to resume, since you must go through essentially the normal boot process, although in Windows XP your computer wakes faster from Hibernate than in previous versions of Windows. The advantage is that you can leave your laptop in Hibernate mode for days without any ill effect. When you start it back up, you'll see everything exactly as you left it. Hibernate is the perfect mode for shutting down for the night or even the weekend.

Many laptop owners are not aware that hibernate and standby mode are not the same. Instead of using the standby feature, more battery is saved when hibernate is selected. Hibernate shuts down the computer, but it also saves the current state of the computer. Battery life is extended, while all your work is put in limbo.
