There is certainly no limit to how long it can stay turned off. Standby involves powering down disk drives, turning off the monitor, doing what can be done to reduce power consumption without actually turning the machine off. Power still flows to RAM to keep it functioning. I don't think there's any limit to how long you can keep the machine like this. Many machines are configured so that after being in Standby for some amount of time, they will hibernate. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

Guest Unknown Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Re: XP (Home): Is there any time limit for hibernation and standby Re: XP (Home): Is there any time limit for hibernation and standby You cannot be in standby if the main power source is turned off.
