If a computer configured in the standby mode loses power, all data that was open is lost.
Key Takeaway: In standby mode, the hard disk and display are turned off and the CPU is throttled down to its lowest-power state. However, memory is kept active, which requires battery power, but at a very slow rate. The computer goes to the low power state and consumes less power. When the computer resumes from standby mode, full power is restored to its devices. During standby mode, if the power supply is disconnected or interrupted, data is lost. The standby mode is available automatically on ACPI-enabled or APM-enabled computers.
