I close my laptop and normally it will go into hibernation and then when i open it. It wakes up. Here for the past few days whenever i close my laptop it goes to the screen perparing to hibernate.. with the blue screen and windows on it...and stays there..nothing happens and i have to hard restart my laptop..after it start its fine until i close my laptop to put it into hibernation. Ive tried manually putting it into hibernation but it does the same thing. Can anyone help me?
Typically this indicates a problem with a particular piece of hardware or its driver that is not cooperating when windows tries to hibernate. Do you have anything new attached to the system? If so, try unplugging it, rebooting, and see if it cooperates then. Also, have you checked the windows event log to see if windows reports any particular errors when trying to hibernate?

devices or undock your computer while your computer is in hibernate
mode.
Your computer enters hibernate mode if the battery charge level becomes
