    Hello Recently i realized that i have a small problem with hibernating on m17x . When i try to hibernate (close laptop) when on adapter it works fine , but when i run on battery with enabled integrated graphics myne laptop shut's down when i hibernate (close laptop) and i need to power it on again and im getting some error before starting windows it says error with hibernate.sys i think but i just go resume and it's okay, just wonder is this windows bug or bios bug?

    i think its just problem with drivers since when i run integrated graphics myne adapter is displayed as standard vga adapter not 9400m g so probably thats causing that small issue

    Definitely could be the issue. I've constantly had issues with hibernate (BSODs when I resume), so I just turned it off. There is no reason to use hibernate. If you need to leave for a little while, put it to sleep. For a long time, just shut down. Not a hibernation hater, but if it can't work right all the time, then there's no reason to even add it to Windows.
