Have you tried turning off the power on the PSU?

When the computer hibernates it is supposed to power off completely. Just like when you shut it down normally. The only thing it does different is it saves whatever is in the RAM to the hard drive so when you turn it on it will be like it was never turned off. Anything that was open will still be open etc.
