Done a disk cleanup last night as I only had 2.5gb left on my main partition. One of the files that could be cleaned was the hibernation file which weighed in at 1.7gb.
The system said it was safe to delete if I don't use hibernate...which I don't. I only ever use sleep, or I switch off my laptop completely. So I deleted the file.
This morning...first of all there was an unexplained reboot as soon as windows had loaded up (I installed new ram last night, but have tested this using memtest and it didn't show up any errors)...
And then whilst building a new bed it seems as though my laptop first went to sleep after 30mins as it's supposed too, but then the auto hibernate kicked in and I couldn't resume my session and had to reboot.
However, now I notice that there are no hibernate settings in the advanced powermanagement section of the control panel so can I take it that hibernate is now disabled properly and I'll have no more issues, or is there a way of re-enabling it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the huge post!
