In many cases you might be in a situation that you have loads of apps and browsers open and you don’t want to close them all and open it again the next time you login, so what you would do is use hibernate in Windows 7.But in most of  the cases when attempting to hibernate the computer on a Windows 7 system or let computer enters hibernation mode, the operating system may stop halt with a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) the following error message as technical information:

STOP 0×000000A0 INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR (0×0000000B, 0xXXXXXXXX, 0xXXXXXXXX, 0xXXXXXXXX

What does this mean ? This means to say that there is a problem in the hibernation file i.e hiberfil.sys as it is not  big enough to save and store the current contents loading in the system RAM or memory.Windows 7, and other Windows operating system, requires equal size of hiberfil.sys hibernation cache file with system RAM memory size in order to work properly.

Thus, in order to fix and solve the above issue, just set a bigger size of hiberfile with the following steps:

• Open a command prompt window with elevated administrator privileges.
• Type the following command and press ENTER:

powercfg /hibernate /size 100

• Above command will set the new hiberfil.sys hibernation file to a size which is the same with 100% of total system memory available.
• Exit the command prompt, and attempt to hibernate again.You won’t be encountering the error.
