Windows 7, what no hibernate?

I think I already have the answer to the above question that being if you have 4G or more RAM then you loose hibernate.  If that's true who has a logical answer for this?  I've never heard of having to much RAM for a program to work?  Only not enough.

It works.

 

Here's the fix I received courtesy of the HP help desk.  This is a cut and paste from the site so here's hoping I don't get in too much trouble with mother HP.

In order to enable this feature in your system, you need to enable it by doing a simple procedure as mentioned below: -

1. Open Command Prompt with Administrator rights. To open Command Prompt, type CMD in Start menu and then hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open the Command Prompt with Admin rights.

2. Next, type the below command and hit enter:

powercfg /hibernate on

3. Type exit and hit enter to close the Command Prompt.

4. If you can’t see the Hibernate option in Start menu then do the following tasks:

A. Type Power Options in Start menu and hit enter.

B. In the left pane, open the link labeled “Change when the computer sleeps” and then open the link “Change advanced power settings”.

C. Under the Advanced Sleep option, expand the Sleep tree and turn off Hybrid Sleep.

D. Now go back to Start menu to see the new Hibernate entry.

No true, the amount of RAM installed does not cause the loss of Hibernation, only the size of the hibernation file will be affected.

I have gone into the 'run' area and input 'cmd' which brings up the DOS window then I enter powercfg -h off.

No help?  I have read on another board that hybernate won't work with Windows 7 if it's running more than 4G of RAM.  I have 6.

I have a PC I'm using as a test bed for writing Windows 7 articles on my web site, it has 4GB and hibernation is not a problem.

Did you use enter:  powercfg -h on

Thanks, this worked for me on both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Win 7 on my desktop. I think laptops will show that option but desktops need the hybrid sleep option turned off.

Thank you for the solution. I didn't have to do the CMD part, just went to Control Panel >  Power Options >  Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Sleep > changed Allow hybrind sleep Setting:  from ON  to Off, > OK >

 

Then checked the shutdown options and there was Hybernate, good to go.
