Hibernation takes zero battery power and boots up faster than turning it off. There's no reason to shut down a computer.

Sleep uses minimal battery power.
Screen savers are useless with LCD screens and take up much more power than sleeping. When possible, hibernate or sleep your computer. That'll end up saving power while having your computer ready to respond quickly.

- My PC likes to freeze on most restarts, so I don't shut it down unless I have no other choice. How can I conserve energy on a desktop? Laptop is easy to do.

- It freezes when I resume from that too...some kind of registry error I think it has. Reformatting isn't an option.
