Win 7 Latitude E5410 will not hibernate
I used to be able to hibernate my laptop which would take up to 5 mins. I've no idea what has changed with my system but now it will just never hibernate anymore.
I've tried disabling hibernate and re-enabling from the command prompt. I've tried running a check disk, I've tried unplugging power and battery and holding down power button for a min, and have also tried issuing the hibernate command via the command prompt.
But nothing seems to fix it.
It will just got to a black screen, but not really hibernate. LED's are still lit on my laptop, and I just have to move the mouse real quick and my lock screen instantly comes up.
I did try manually downloading the display adapter driver from Dell for my service tag, but when I try to update the driver to the display adapter device in Device Manager and specify the driver's extracted folder, it just sits there saying "Installing driver" forever.

Hibernate just won't work. Screen goes off and I even waited 30 mins and came back, touched the touchpad and everything came up instantly (lock screen).
Hmmm
Maybe get with Dell on this?
