Hibernation stopped working after prog install & PC freeze
After working flawlessly for a couple of years my hibernation now doesn't work: when I choose it, the screen goes blank and there is some hard drive activity but then it stops and just returns me to the screen I was on. Sleep still works perfectly.
Two things happened before this: I installed a backup program called ShadowProtect (since uninstalled) and I had a couple of PC freezes due to a bad piece of software, which meant I had to a hard reboot. I ran Chkdsk at bootup to make sure the drive was all OK, which it was. I've also disabled and then re-enabled hibernation. I've looked at Event Viewer but I can't find any actual errors, and am not familiar with the program. Where do I go from here ? |

If I run powercfg after a failed hibernate attempt this is all I see:
C:\powercfg -lastwake Wake History Count - 0 |

I'd try the repair install as recommended by quickdraw2011.
Some other things you can try:
If you don't have backup images consider using those going forward. Imaging with free Macrium |

After you've done the Repair Install, please remember to turn on System Restore. Helps in such cases.
