When shutting down and turning on my computer again, it takes such a long time. But recently, I’ve tried hibernating and turning on again, and it takes less than a minute:)

So basically, i stuck with hibernating. But are there problems associated with it? Does it use power, or is it in a dead state, using no power at all?

Thanks guys, any answers would be appreciated:D
