    A few days ago, my laptop mysteriously goes into hibernation after 5 minutes. When I go into power settings, all of the modes (like Home/portable/presentation/always-on) are 'grey-ed out'. Anyone know why this is, and if so, how I can fix it? Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    It could be that your battery is almost competely drained. It happened to me before too, i turned it on and BLAM it went into hibernation. Plugged it in, everything was fine, but then i unplugged it a moment later and it showed the battery was at >5% and went to hibernation agian.
