Hibernation - Resuming From Sleep Problem in windows 7
The 1394 FireWire driver was updated in the Windows 7 and some older 1394 devices may not be compatible with the new driver. This cause some instability issue including problem with hibernation and resume form sleep. The common case is, after resume from sleep, reboot and then the screen goes blank, it will reboot once again and then you can boot to OS. To solve this you need to change the drivers into legacy driver via device manager.
1- Click Start menu.
2- Right click "Computer" select "manage".
3- Select "Device manager" from the left hand panel.
4- Expand the "IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers" node in the device tree on the right hand pane.
5- Right click the host controller node select "Update driver software ..."
6- select "Browse my computer for driver software"
7- select "let me pick from a list of device driver on my computer ..."
8. Select The legacy driver from the list and click next and wait until installation finish.
