flashed BIOS with most recent update and reformatted harddrive, didnt add any extra drivers as i thought drivers might have been the problem... PLEASE help, i don't know what to do next... maybe just boot instead of hibernate... what kinda load difference is there in times?

It's probably memory. I always say that, but I was wrong recently.

I originally had a 1gb stick of RAM and degraded to a 512mb stick because i thought it was the size of the memory that was causing the problem... and it hasn't worked with either stick... soon to change hDD's as well to see if thats the problem...

To be honest, you're prolly gonna get sick and tired of Hibernation anyway. Too many issues.
I'd say remove the touch screen drivers first and make sure you're using a ps2 keyboard. Then try.
