Hi Cesar,
Just because there are no bangs (question marks) in device manager does not
mean that everything is fully functional. If hibernate is now available,
that is a good start. However, if it is not functioning it indicates that
either some driver is still not fully supporting it, or that there is
interference from some application or background process.
