System power level 41 occurred during a sudden laptop shutdown.
Recently, I faced an issue with my laptop entering sleep mode. When I wake it up, it occasionally restarts unexpectedly, particularly after gaming sessions. My thought is that the BIOS might need time to reset the graphics card or other parts after sleep. Will this affect the CPU, mainboard, or GPU?
you should put your PC to sleep rather than shut it down because stopping power abruptly can cause problems. If you notice random shutdowns or sudden power cuts, it might be related to how your device handles sleep states. Also, modern computers usually boot quickly, so sleeping is a safer option compared to a full shutdown.
with hibernate you "lock" your session from RAM to a file on disk in the swap partition. This means if you have 128GB of RAM, your swap file should be 128GB as well. On Linux this is typical, but I think on Windows it behaves similarly, though I’d probably just turn off the PC and restart because back then power-on timings weren’t that short. Hibernate sits between sleep and shutdown, so shutting down seems better at this point.
