This error is caused by the hibernation file size being is too small for the current memory requirements of the computer. To fix this problem, increase the size of the hibernation file by following these steps:

  1. Click the Start button.
  2. In the search box, type command prompt.
  3. In the list of results, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  4. In the Command Prompt window type:

powercfg /hibernate /size <size%>

where <size%> equals the size of the hibernation file in percentage of total physical memory.

The default size is 75% and can be increased to 100% with:

powercfg /hibernate /size 100

    In a crunch I simply went into Device Mgr. and disabled the driver.  It'll slow down your laptop fan shortly after, and a reboot isn't necessary.  Eh I guess I'm lazier now these days and take the easy way out.  Eh didn't feel like meshing with AMDs website.  ;-)
