What is the term of restarting the computer called?

To start the computer is called Booting. Restarting the computer is (not surprisingly) called Rebooting. This comes from the word 'bootstrap'. Which in turn, comes from the idea of pulling someone up by the bootstraps. A bootstrap program, is one that initiates other programs in sequence, in order to get the computer ready for use. In early days of computer programming these sequences had to be started by an operator. Bootstrap code makes this chore automatic. The idea that one program starts another program, is like trying to lift yourself off the ground by your bootstraps. (Programmers have a sense of humor.)

If I was using computer and had to leave for a few hours does it take more energy to re-start computer or should I just leave until I get back?

Some computers have a "hibernate" function which puts the computer in a low power/memory state, which resumes once you click the mouse, there's also a "sleep" function, which kind of "slows" yours computer down, while taking less power/memory, but restarting your computer after you shut it down will save energy because its completely off, not taking energy at all, starting your computer up would most likely take less, and equal out having it in sleep mode verses turning it off for a set amount of time then restarting it.
