What is the difference between "turn off the monitor" and "make the computer sleep" in the Win7 power option?
Turning off a monitor means literally, your program continues, and the network is connected.Sleep is when the program stops running and keeps the running program in memory so that the power consumption of the computer is very small and the state of sleep can be quickly restored. You can't turn off the computer power, or the data in memory will disappear.There is also a state of sleep, that is, the memory of the data stored in the hard disk, and then turn off the computer power. It also restores the state before sleep, but much slower than sleep, and takes up space on the hard disk, which is the same size as memory.
If you use a virtual machine, you should understand that actually turn off the display system or in the run, a bit deceiving. Computer sleep is actually the hang of the virtual machine. When you open it, it is the program that was suspended. It will be used soon.
One is just that the monitor is off and it's dark.The other is the low power consumption of computers, and many programs stop outage. When you operate a computer, all programs immediately wake up. The system is upstairs said Hang Hang is the current computer computer to save all operation records and current status, and then shut down the system, when you reboot your system when environment restore to the state before the shutdown.
Turning off the monitor simply closes the display output without any output signal display. The "computer into sleep" is the current work into a suspended state, the hard disk and display, such as sleep, when there is a keyboard and other operating instructions, automatically restore the work before the state.
1., when you turn off the monitor, it means that the monitor is dark or directly black, but the background program is still running.2. is the computer into the sleep mode, is not only the display black, most of the background program is temporarily closed, for example, QQ also temporarily offline, and then move the mouse on it.3 this set not only saving, for the life of the computer is good, at the same time wake up into the landing page, if you set the password, is also good for personal privacy (someone touch my book into what dangerous sites, and in my book on his belt inserted virus U disc).
