my laptop will no longer hibernate
Noob here and first post. Please redirect if I am in the wrong place. Since downloading the Tuesday patches my laptop will no longer hibernate. The screen goes black quickly as it always did before but the hard drive keeps flashing intermittently and the power button stays lit. Eventually the system gives up trying to hibernate and gives me what appears to be a BSOD with an error message about a Driver Power State Error. I restart the machine in safe mode and all seems ok. A full stop and then start after the safe mode run seems to restore everything but it is not possible to run a restart or a hibernate action. Also, on occasion now, when running Symantec virus scan the scan seems to get hung up. If I use the manual "stop scan" the scan eventually stops running but an attempt at a new scan gives me a message that a scan is in progress. Checking the scan log I can see an open, running scan ( the one I manually stopped) with no activity. A complete shutdown of the system restores Symantec so I can run a virus scan.
Any suggestions to get the hibernate function working again would be greatly appreciated.
