Have you contacted technical support for your notebook manufacturer? That
would immediately eliminate the flailing around you seem to insist upon.

Have you thought about contacting a personality coach?

If you don't like my questions, ignore them. See how easy that is?

A Dell laptop will hibernate just like a HP. make sure that the power
settings are setup correctly such as hibernate. Under advance there
are options dealing with the state of the system when you close the
lid. make sure it is on standby if you want it to resume. Sometimes if
it does not work it is because of this. I doubt it is a hardware issue
but when it is it is usually the reed switch, but if that is the case
the system would not come on at all. My opinion it's probably the
settings. Remember hibernation is basically a snapshot file of the
system sometimes it could get curupted but I don't think so in this
case.

If they are missing then something may have gone wrong in the upgrade,
or all the system software was not added. Make sure that all the dell
drivers and also system software has been added. Check the website for
your system software downloads on www.dell.com.
