    1. Click Start, All Programs, and then right click on "Command Prompt".
    2. From the context menu click on "Run as administrator".
    3. If User Account Control prompts you to allow the action, click on
    Continue.
    4. In the command prompt window, type "powercfg -h off" (or "on" without the
    quotes) followed by Enter button.
    4. Close the Command Prompt

    For future reference, this only disables hibernation. To disable all power
    saving features, one should switch to the "High performance" power plan or
    customize it further if they so choose.

    RE: power saving settings

    To disable all power saving features, click on the Power icon in your
    notification area and select "High performance", or perform the following:

    1. Click on Start, and then click on Control Panel.
    2. Click on System and Maintenance, and then click on Power Options.
    3. Set the active power plan to "High performance".
    4. Close the Control Panel window.

    I hope that this information proves to be useful to you, have a great day,
