   Not exactly. Does event viewer show anything related?   
   Device manager exclamation marks?   
   Have you tried to   
   - disable hibernation, rename the hiberfil.sys before rebooting so the   
   same disk sectors are "locked" and not used again for a hibernation file   
   - after rebooting, turn on hibarnation and let it create a new one?
