Sleep/hibernate mode and ram...

on: December 30, 2009, 13:29:05 PM

Quick question, windows 7 has lately begun to get a bit unstable. Ive been using sleep mode instead of turning it off since installing win 7 pretty much.

Just curious whether if sleep mode puts everything into the ram, if you use it a lot would it damage/corrupt the ram over time from it never really getting turned off and given a chance to cool down?

Probably noobtacular questions there, but Im trying to figure out what has suddenly changed in the last few days.

i was seeing serious grief from sleep mode. crashes while it was in it. blue screen on the way out of it.

then my fancy asus striker motherboard gave up the ghost and i rebuilt with a cheap gigabyte board.

all of a sudden the new win 7 pro install is far more reliable. drops into sleep as it should and doesnt wake up when someone pings me on msn. doesnt error on the way out.

almost instantaneous on and off. should have been available years ago, but i liek it now ive got it.

I should add that the sleep mode I am referring to is the near dead sleep mode, where nothing mechanical is powered, as opposed to hibernate/sleep/whatever its called where things are still whirring in the computer.

I dont know why i keep using asus boards, when I always end up with issues with them at some point
