if i leave my lap top on hibernate will it heat up my laptop,by not shutting it off?

The laptop will go into a slight 'nap' which will mean that it won't heat up because it is not really running any programs. It is like it is taking a rest from it's work. When you switch a computer off it is like a human sleeping.\n\nHope this Helps

Actually, you might find that any surface that you have your laptop resting on might also be warmer than normal if you were to check it immediately after use.  It isn't just your lap that this is happening on, although since it's in close proximity to your skin with a layer of clothing between you and the computer, you're more sensitive to the increase in temperature on the device.\n\nSome electronic devices, which operate via battery power, are well known to become warm or heat up while in use.  It isn't limited to just laptops, as I've even experienced this with cell phones (if talking on it for an extended period of time) and other devices as well.  This is attributed to how the electronics work, which converts the energy stored within the battery into power that can be used by the equipment.\n\nThere are two suggestions:\n\n1)  Check with the manufacturer to see if they might be doing a recall on the laptops.  There have been a few laptop recalls, of lately, due to the fact that the batteries have caused certain types of laptops to burst into flames.\n\n2)  If there is no recall, check with your local Best Buy, Microcenter, or major computer store.  If your laptop included an internal fan for cooling, they might be able to recommend an alternative.

Yes, I would say it is an overheating problem. Because it is a laptop I would recommend you to take it to a repair shop. \n\nThe laptop turns off to protect the cpu.\nWhen trying to turn it back on, it will turn it self immediately back off, because of the safety feature.\nIf it ever happens again this time wait 30 min berfore trying to switch it on again. I bet this time it will turn back on with no problems, because after 30min the temp. will be at an acceptable temperature.

It varies way too much to say for certain. Depends on how hard  you're working your hard drive, cpu, how bright you have the screen, etc. Also wireless cards use up a LOT of power, turning it off when it's not needed will save you a lot

There are two schools of thought on this subject and both are correct in their own reasoning.\n\nOne side says shut down your computer because you will wear out the bearings in your hard drive. Which if you are just an occasional user this would be good advice.\n\nThe other side says leave it on or let it hibernate because the repeated temperature fluctuations of turning on and off the computer will crack the solder joints on the board. Which if you are every day user would also be good advice.\n\nWhich way to go? That would be up to you.

On the desktop right click then go to properties.  Under screen save go to power stettings.  Just turn "shut down harddisks, sleep, and hibernate" to never

I have a MacBook Pro 2.0GHz/256 VRAM with 2 GB RAM, 100 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive, and a Superdrive.  Yeah, it gets hot, but from my experience, it depends on my surroundings.  At home, it's gets warm and stays warm just a few minutes after I wake it up, but at school, i can keep it going and it stays pretty cool.  I've also used it outside in shade with a good breeze.  It stayed pretty cool then.  Pillows block the airflow to the bottom and also insulate the heat...not a good idea.  I'm currently using a piece of wood cut close to the size of the machine, but my dad has a plastic laptop holder thing that he got from the Sharper Image store. The wood seems to hold the heat, but the plastic seemed to keep everything cool.

Hibernate - don't shutdown.\n\nIf you have to shutdown type msconfig in Start/Run. click the 'Startup' tab and de-select all the stuff you don't need.\n\nGood luck

Yes it is safe. It will not hurt your computer. I hibernate my laptop all the time. It save me a lot of time when I need to turn it on. The only thing is that if you are using a laptop it will drain your battery but if you are using a desktop you will be fine.

In some of the laptops I troubleshoot if you unplug the laptop and remove the battery, wait a few seconds and then power on the laptop after putting the battery back in you can recover from a failed hibernation/sleep state.

you should try hibernating it. this will save power and will save you time when you start your computer up. right click the taskbar, click task manager, click shut down on the top, and click hibernate.

while you shutting down the system... there may b some unwritten data on the ram of ur computer.. if u just turn off the power switch u will lose all the data on the ram.. coz ram is dynamic storage element!! it stores the data only when the power is on!! when u use shutdown it flushes all the unnecessary data and backups some system files on the pc in order to stablize the pc for next time boot up.  so it is necessary to use shutdown dailouge... hope this answer helps u!! bye dude!!

There are two schools of thought but my tech support from Gateway said turn it off if you are gone 2 hours or more. I don't do that. I set it to hibernate at 2 hours. (In Control Panel, Power Options). However, as to lithium batteries they can 't  be ruined by overcharging. I leave my computer plugged in several days at a time.

I believe most laptops either have a standby or hibernate feature where after a certain time the laptop shuts off automatically. i don't think it's bad to leave it on all night, but if you're laptop has this feature, there's no need to worry about it. it'll turn off by itself.

It depends on the way your computer is set up and how much you use it through out the day. If you don't use your computer everyday, it might be safer to turn it off (and make sure you do a proper shutdown, such as using the start menu if you are on a Windows PC). As for not booting up correctly, there might be bad entries in the registry, or bad/damaged sectors on the hard drive (easily caused by too many impromper shut downs). If you can't figure out how to tell if you do or not, you may want to look for a reputable service center in your area that can help you find out. However, if you use your computer quite a bit, and you just want to turn it off to save power, but not have to wait for it to boot up everytime you need to use it, you may want to look in the control panel under the power options to see if you have support for a hibernation and/or standy-by mode. By using stand-by or hibernation mode, it will help to save on utility costs compared to leaving the computer fully powered on, but it will not require a actual "start up" when you go to return from the stand-by/hibernation mode.

No duh. That shouldn't be a surprise.\nIn hibernate mode, the computer is practically off.\nIn standby mode, its on, but only by a small thread.\nGive your computer a minute or so to restore the connection.
