I recently installed a clean installation of windows 8.1 x64 on my aging laptop, but for whatever reason the system fails to "fast start" or resume from hibernation as it will reach the window's boot logo with the spiraling dots albeit spiraling "very slowly" with the cpu fan spooling up audibly in the back ground, HDD activity light stays lit although little or no audible activity is presented. I can only get around this by doing a hard restart via forcing a shut down by holding the power button. Then it would proceed to boot normally.
The Event viewer shows nothing out of the ordinary.
Disabling hibernation function via cmd "powercfg -h off" does seem to remedy this but this is more of inconvenience and hassle for me since I'm on a laptop with somewhat less than stellar performance as it does not do much more beyond watching HD videos online and offline. I find these boot time saving features and hibernation rather paramount for this laptop's continued usage.
My system spec is as follows:
Acer Aspire 3100 with "Nevarro" mainboard
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 with up to either configurable BIOS option of up to 32, 64, 128, 256 Megabytes of Shared Memory.
2GB DDR2 RAM
Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2.00Ghz Dual Core
