Look in your bios - you should see a setting choice for S1, S3 and modern boards have S4=hibernate.
Make sure its on S3 (or S4 - if this option exists)
Absolutely NO Hibernate

Did you follow these steps to install the SDK then run the .msi for your WIN7 version? Install the Windows Performance Tools Kit - MSFN Forum

Look under ACPI power settings in BIOS for the S-state selected.
Also, type Power Options into the Start Search box, under the active Plan>Change Plan Settings, then go Advanced, expand each Sleep option to post back their settings.

Don't forget, he originally said that hibernate used to work.
This would suggest that the cause of the current hibernate failure would not be in the BIOS (unless it auto-changed its own S-state settings somehow, which of course seems highly unlikely).
He hasn't updated video drivers (unless a Windows Update did it, and he didn't know it) so there's no change there which might explain the current failure when it used to work fine.
Plenty of hard drive space, and hiberfil.sys exists.
Hibernate is still an option on the shutdown menu (and not grayed out), so all of the normal prerequisites for Windows to decide to offer it as an option would appear to have been met.
It actually goes into standby instead of hibernate. I wonder if this is a power supply problem? What if everything pertinent to hibernation is actually occurring... until the final command to "turn off the computer"?

You'll need to run the trace to get a definitive answer. Nothing is missed.
PM Cluberti to ask for help running it if needed, or post up in the thread on MSFN where the trace is administered.
