That is normally a driver problem.

The question is which driver is causing the problem. Does the event viewer show anything about it?

If you installed new programs and maybe not shut down correctly, the hiberfile may not have the drivers stored but they are on the Computer.
Try booting into safe mode, disable Hibernation, reboot and re-enable Hibernation.
Since your running Win 8, Safe Mode is not enabled by default, you will have to run Windows repair enter the dark world of DOS
and type:   bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
I don't take credit for this, I have a Win 8 Machine I set up to try to see what the pitfalls and pluses were and I had a problem
requiring me to go into Safe Mode and found this info after a web search.
Best bet for fast laptop, delete Hibernation and put in a Solid State Drive.
I found a Program in the UK called "Macrium Reflect" it makes an Image of all the Partions on your current drive and re-installs
them (Boot Ready) onto your SSD.
