How to Get a Computer Out of Suspend Mode
The suspend mode on a computer allows a user to shut down system resources without entirely shutting down the computer. Not only does this mode save energy by reducing power consumption, it allows a user to quickly access the computer without having to go through the entire start-up process. Once a computer is in the suspend mode, it can easily be started and used within minutes.

Open the lid (on a laptop) to exit the suspend mode. If this doesn't work you have several other options to exit standby mode. Pressing your laptop's power button or a key on your laptop's keyboard will cause the computer to exit the suspend mode.
