Hi all
Recently I have upgraded my notebook HDD from 80GB to 250GB, and RAM from 1GB to 2GB. I didn't want to re-install Windows so I took an image of the HDD using Acronis True Image and put the image on the new 250GB HDD. Windows booted up fine.
I've noticed however the hibernation tab was gone from power options. I used the hibernation option a lot without problems before the HDD upgrade. I checked the BIOS setting and found that ACPI option was disabled somehow. I revoked that, and the hibernation tab was back.
Because RAM was changed, I probably forgot to disable hibernation and re-enable it (to resize the hibernation sys file size). When I press hibernate, there is a windows balloon tooltip saying "Insufficient API resources to complete this operation".
I then disable and re-enable hibernation. Restarted, and it would go to hibernation. However, only for once. When you resume from that session, the hibernation tab will be gone and the automatic timed Windows hibernation (after idling a while) will bring up the "Insufficient API resources to complete this operation" error. I've checked the BIOS setting and it's fine.
So in summary, my machine currently will go to hibernation after a clean restart of Windows only once. And after resuming from that bibernation it would not go to hibernation once again.
I don't think software/drivers are a problem because of how it worked before and I did not change any drivers or software. The only thing I changed was RAM and HDD, and perhaps confused Windows in the process.
Any insights?
Thanks
