    This worked for me on HP Pavilion

    Another thing to do is disable hibernate file. 

    Run CMD as Administrator, and type the following: 

    powercfg hibernate off 

    Instant response for me. Happy days!

    This worked for me.. thanks a lot..

    hibernate off worked like a tonic for me!! Thank you

    I had this same problem happen on my laptop. What fixed it for me was updating the firmware on my Western Digital SSD.
