    I upgraded my windows 7 from home premium to professional in Asus G51J. FOr some reason, now the system crashes when it comes out of hibernation. It crashes at the point when I had reenter windows after entering the password. I don't want to reinstall everything, I am sure it can be solved by some other way. Before upgrade it was working fine. Any suggestions?

    I agree that it's most likely a software issue. Have you installed all the critical updates from microsoft?

    yes. Windows is up to date, according to the automatic update installer.

    In this case, try increasing your hibernation file size. The default is set at 75%, so you can try 100%.

    To do this, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > (right click) Command Prompt > (click) Run as Administrator.

    Enter:
    powercfg /hibernate /size 100

    I had a similar issue, disabling one of the virtualization settings in the BIOS fixed it.

    Can't remember which one it was though. :|
