    UPDATE: FIXED -- Had wrong NVIDIA driver installed (instead of Win10 I had win7 driver installed)
    --------------------------
    Hey guys, so I've been on Windows 1809 w/ bios hack, and I have trouble waking up my device from hibernation.
    Basically, my device can enter the hibernation/sleep mode, but cannot wake up properly. In the video, you can see that my screen glitches out after the Windows 10 loading animation, forcing me to force restart.

    Hibernation and sleep issue is not affected on Windows 7

    Is anyone having this problem? Any troubleshooting would be appreciated :)

    Additional Info:
    Nvidia 330m driver 9.18.13.4144
    Affected windows 10 version: 1803, 1809 (unsure about 1709)
    8GB Crucial RAM (4x2)
    OS on Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250 gb @ ODD slot AHCI

    Behavior diagnosis :
    this occurs around 80 percent of the time. Open photoshop/blender -> hibernate -> this

    Did you try to turn off hibernation and use only sleep mode?

    Both sleep and hibernation are giving me problems with Windows 10 with a unique outcome.
    sleep > wake > black screen/no static & unresponsive.
    Hibernate > wake > static (referenced video)

    According to Windows reliability report, the Nvidia driver seems to be the culprit, but there's not much I could do about that.

    There's a known issue involved with old laptops and Windows 10 Fastboot, so make sure that Fastboot is deactivated.
    Also use of hibernation is not recommended when using SSD, as it puts a lot of unneeded strain to them. With Windows 10 and bios hack your VAIO is supposed to start fresh within few seconds.

    So after a quick glance at the installed NVIDIA version number, it turns out that I had windows 7 graphics driver instead of windows 10... smh lol

    Now the sleep function is working GREAT! Woohoo, 99% functioning OS, thank you guys :)
