windows shuts down instead of hibernation
hi i started having this problem recently but i thought it was temporary stuff, but then it keeps happening. when i put my computer to hibernate, it goes off as normal. but when i put it back on i see that it didn't save anything. instead it starts as if you just shut it down. i would love someone to give me a help. thanks.

Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:


Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to skydrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post * If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem.  The work around is to edit the registry.  If you are not comfortable doing this DONT.  If you are, backup the key before you do Press Win+"R" and input regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

Hi,

This issue can be caused if the Hiberfil.sys was corrupted or it was larger than the capacity of C drive, then System cannot boot properly from Hibernation.

Hiberfil.sys file is a system file that is used by Windows to support Hibernation. If you have enabled Hibernation in Windows 8.1, you will see this file.

I suggest we try to re-built this file to check the results:

powercfg.exe /hibernate off

powercfg.exe /hibernate on

Then, if possible, please make sure that there is enough space in your C drive for Hibernation.

Meanwhile, please upload the event log here for further research.

Collect event log:

Please upload them to a file sharing service like Skydrive or "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.

Look forward to your response.
