Hibernation issues with Win 7 - no hibernation but goes to login scr

[AppleisnotCOOL]

I have encountered this a few times and I thought of collating past experiences of other users on their successful attempt to restore the eco friendly hibernation feature. I personally favour hibernate than sleep as sleep slowly bleeds your battery away.

I just installed a 512GB M4 Crucial SSD into my laptop.

For my case, it happens when I tried to resize the C: partition to a smaller size using a third party software called minitool partition wizard. Windows native disk management somehow restricts the minimum size for C even though I have like 80GBs of free space. After successfully resizing it using partition wizard, i lost hibernation feature.

After searching the internet for solutions, many suggested powercfg cmd but this didnt work for me. I have also tried other recommendations and those didnt work too.

Since hibernation needs to store the OS states and apps into a file before shutting down, I suspected the pagefile.sys got corrupted due to the resizing and did a chkdsk with fix. It found some errors and fixed it. After a successful chkdsk fix, I got back hibernation feature! I also recommend to leave the vritual memory to system managed as I read from other posts that hibernate needs about 4GB of pagefile to hibernate.

Hope this helps others who have similar problems. On the hand if you have successfully restore your hibernation feature, please post your experience here. Thanks!

How do I do that? Do I use a the command prompt?

PW deleted or moved your hiberfil to resize as desired. This required the Disk Check to sort.

It also may have worked to turn off and then back on Hibernate which recreates the file: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/819-hibernate-enable-disable.html

I turned it off and turned it back on, but that didn't help.

Windows Boot Manager

Your computer can't come out of hibernation.

Status: 0xc000009a

Info: A fatal error occurred processing the restoration data.

File: \hiberfile.sys

Any information saved when the computer when into hibernation will not be saved and will be lost.

Note: I can press enter and it boots up normally, but I have to login again to the user account.

Maxie, I will try this afternoon. Thank you for your help.

 

[Jesse Williams]

I will let you know the outcome.

 

[maxie]

No problem ... Do not forget to check for any Errors ..

 

[Jesse Williams]

I did the scannow thing yesterday. It basically said there were no issues to report.

 

[maxie]

I did mean the Performance Issues ..

 

[Jesse Williams]

What do you mean?

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay. I will just work on it this afternoon. But, the link you provided told me to do the sfc /scannow command. I did that yesterday, and it didn't find any errors.

Disable the Hibernation file from the link I gave you earlier,

Reboot the PC.

Now run a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/818-disk-cleanup-open-use.html

Now defrag the hard drive. I prefer Puran Defrag Boot Time defrag with full Disk Check. This gets at System files which would be running otherwise, and checks the file system over first.

Reboot the PC again.

Re-enable Hibernate.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay. I will use both yours and Maxie's suggestions.
