Hi,
Instead of devices, concentrate on installed software that is running in the
background. This would include antivirus/antispyware applications. Try
selectively disabling them until the system goes into and stays in hibernate
mode.
FWIW, I use the same laptop with Vista HP installed and have no issues
whatsoever getting it to hibernate and I did not have to modify any hardware
settings to do it.
