There are lots of people complaining that they have one or two problems with their notebook due to hibernation and that makes one wonder if hibernation actually damages a computer. As a matter of fact, I hate shutting down my laptop because of the time taken to start up and the time taken to restore my browser tabs which may be up to fifteen at times. Hibernating your computer is a very good way to save your work but people often try to convince me that it’s going to damage my motherboard eventually. Is there any truth to this? Is it a practice one should avoid?
First, let me try to tell you what happens when your system goes into hibernation. What most people do not know is that when you hit the hibernation button, your computer actually shuts down but it usually stores a file on your hard disk which is used to restore whatever you’ve been doing.
