I did some searching first and tried some suggested fixes and they don't seem to work. I could use some more guidance from you experts:
My computer does not offer hibernate as an option for me to perform. It will sleep just fine, but I can't seem to find a way to make it hibernate. Upon searching the internet I have tried the following fixes with no luck:
-Changing advanced power settings under Window's power plans. Power options says hibernate is turned "on."
-Using the command prompt in administrator mode and entering "powercfg.exe /hibernate on"
-Checking the registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power" and under Hibernate the value is "1" which should mean enabled.
-Downloading and running Microsoft's "Fix it for me." (Yeah, I didn't really expect it to work either...)
It's my understanding that some graphics cards do not allow this option. I tried searching my graphics card and hibernate, but no luck. It's got recent drivers form Nvidia, I don't see why they wouldn't let me do it.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm really confused about the whole thing
Thanks in Advance

-PC was built in September of 2012, so I would think that the modern drivers these days would be configured to work with Window's hibernate.
