    Windows 7 What DOESN'T happen when my PC sleeps or hibernates?

    I've always wondered if background tasks continue to run while the PC is in sleep mode or hibernation. Are there actions that I can take to wake it up? What happens if I'm running a scan and the PC goes into hibernation or sleep mode? Please help me out........
