actually, hibernation is no prob....it's just that it doesn't boot whenever the computer is off or in hibernate mode if i turn it on again after 10 minutes of shutting down.,,,

There is a "wait" state from hibernation to normal operation. Some systems boot up within 2 seconds; others within 10 seconds; still others are known to boot up within 30 seconds. It all depends on your system and what's been written to disk before your machine lapses into HIBERNATION.
So allow 30 seconds before you see any action on your computer. Obviously, the screen will be black because your machine is still in HIBERNATION. Hit the power button, wait 30 seconds. Your system should get out of HIBERNATION by then.
If it doesn't, either your BIOS, or POWER SCHEMES, or both are incorrectly set. Power management is handled by two players - the BIOS and your OS. Set it up right and it will work.
The first condition for it to work is that you must have BIOS support for HIBERNATE mode and that means S4, not S3. S3 puts your system in SUSPEND-TO-RAM mode. If your BIOS is still set at S3, you're putting your system on SUSPEND-TO-RAM mode, which may account for the "odd" powering up behavior. Power management modes are codes written in a chip on the motherboard. Moreover, if you don't have the HIBERNATE tab in your POWER OPTIONS, HIBERNATE doesn't work however enabled it may be.
Richard Cranium was right when he said that the last time he saw HIBERNATE was in an OEM machine. So far, machines with HIBERNATE mode tend to be restricted to OEM machines.
Perhaps I'm wrong here. I certainly hope someone in this forum could pitch in with a new insight.
I can't think of any other way around your problem, if it's a problem at all.
