Abstract: An apparatus comprises a first circuitry to perform, in response to a first message from an operating system, a first process to place a computer device in a first operating mode, store state information in a volatile memory of the computer device, and start a timer for a time-out period for performing the first process. First components of the computer device are in a low power state. A second circuitry to detect, after the time-out period, a failure of the first process. A third circuitry to perform, in response to the detected failure of the first process, a second process to place the computer device in a second operating mode and store state information in a non-volatile memory of the computer device. The volatile memory is operational in the first operating mode and is in a low power state in the second operating mode.
