Since I upgraded my computer from Windows 8 to 8.1, I noticed some strange behavior: Whenever I try to start it or resume (after hibernate), I can not do it at the first time. I see the black screen with the Starting Windows text, and the "circle of dots" moving that represent the loading progress. But, at a certain moment, that circle becomes stalled and computer does nothing anymore.
I have to power off by brute force, using the computer's physical power button, and useit again to power on. After that it boots up normally.
Side note: sometimes when I am on Windows the computer enters on a sleep state. And when I use battery and its level becomes low, Windows enters in an unrecoverable sleep state. I have to power off and lose all my work.
The computer is Asus X61Z laptop, having an AMD Athlon X64 processor and the Windows is also 64 bit.

Hibernation problems are caused by driver problems have you updated to a windows 8.1 supported driver – Ramhound – 2014-03-10T00:41:38.847
Is "fast boot" on or off ? I would recommend switching off. – snayob – 2014-03-10T18:46:49.090
