When battery low computer shuts down instead of hibernating

[ThisIsImpossibru]

Yes.. I did post a thread about this yesterday and i marked an answer correct before i checked it actually worked.

I left the computer to turn off with no charge after i had done powercfg -h on and set it to hibernate in the power controls.

Once i came back to it I plugged the charger in and it didn't work.. It did boot up normally and took me to the password screen but none of the stuff before it turned off was there.

I'm sure there's some sort of easy fix other than "open this and look in that and take the screws of this and that"

I don't want to end in a bigger problem than i had originally started with.

Click on the battery icon in system tray.
Click "More power options".
Click "Change plan settings" beside the power plan selected.
Click "Change advanced power settings".
Scroll down, the last option is "Battery", click on the "+" sign beside it to expand it.
Click on the "+" sign beside "Critical battery action", select "Hibernate" for both "On battery" and "Plugged in".
Click on the "+" sign beside "Low battery action", select "Do nothing" for both "On battery" and "Plugged in".
Click OK.

Repeat the above steps for every power plan you've got.
Restart computer.
Unplug power and let it run on battery to check if we've managed to solve it.

I had done this before and everything is set as you mentioned.

(UPDATE) I've tried hibernating on purpose (without draining the battery and waiting for it to hibernate)
It didn't load up with anything i had before and turned on like it would do with an on/off .
no fix.

Can you manually hibernate the computer?
If you've done the powercfg thing, then there will be a hibernate option in the power menu. Click on power it would give you options to shut down, restart, sleep, and hibernate. Do you have the hibernate option? If yes, hibernate the computer with this. Wait for a couple of minutes, and turn it back on. Does this work? Or does this result in a complete reboot?

Alright i've opened a notepad file and written some stuff in it.

I went and tried to manually hibernate.

It resulted in a complete reboot.

the notepad file was not there.

We should try the following two steps at this point:

1>Download a new display driver for your computer from the manufacturer's website. Display drivers are known to cause problems with low power states like S3 and S4. Uninstall the display driver you have now. Restart the computer. Install the new display driver that you downloaded.

2>Download a new BIOS. Check the manufacturer's website for a BIOS, install it. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the BIOS you're installing in the one that's for your computer, don't attempt installing a BIOS not designed for your specific computer model. Make sure the power cord is plugged in. The BIOS update will restart the computer a couple of times automatically, and during this it might appear that the computer has locked up - this is normal, don't press the power button to shut down the computer, don't interrupt the BIOS update in any way - once you start it, don't touch the computer until it completes successfully and restarts to Windows again.

After you complete the above two steps, try manually hibernating again.

Im seriously not ready to send this thing into a 10 day repair.
