Hibernation problem

Hello. I use hibernation. It has worked flawlessly for months. But over the last couple of days, it won't restore itself from hibernation. I keep having to delete the restoration data and start anew. I use hibernation not to save the state of my computer necessarily, but to save money on my power bill, as well as quicker startups. Is there something I can check, fix or whatever to get this working again?

I'm sure you already know, but the error message is as follows:

'The last attempt to restore the system from its previous location failed'

Thanks.

Not sure, but how much free hard drive space do you have?

Have you ran memory and hard drive diagnostics?

That might be a problem. Not sure. You could test that theory and free up some more space.

Also, run diagnostics.

That's not enough free space on a system drive. Any more than 75% full is inviting problems. When you get enough free space freed up, run chkdsk /r and defrag it.
