capacity remaining where the system fails to power on after High Resolution mode
is enabled in the BIOS setup menu.

while the system is in hibernation cannot be detected when the monitor is
reconnected after the system resumes.

used to lock the system from a remote server and the system then resumes from
hibernation.

screen event to occur and the system displays the message, Unsupported
Processor.
