May be not, but I would try this: I would uncheck Hibernate option in
Power Options, Hibernate. Reboot and make sure that in c:\, the file
hiberfil.sys has been deleted (which is the file use to hibernate).
Delete it if it is still there. Then, check Hibernate again in Power
Options, reboot and try to hibernate.

Do make sure that you have enough room on drive c: for the file
hiberfil.sys to be created successfully. It is roughly equal to the
amount of RAM of your machine.

Good luck and let us know

Then, I guess the usual applies: have you updated your hardware drivers,
researched IBM's site? Then try disabling the programs that start-up
automatically with Windows, see if the problem is solved and then
restoring them one by one. I would first suspect anything related to
communications.
