    Sounds like it got confused coming out of hibernation. I'd turn it off and on a few times, use it for a bit and try and put in hibernation then wake it up and see if it works fine.

    Back up any data first to a USB stick...

    But, while it's under warranty you may as well be sure it's not going to break the moment you do something...

    Technically you don't have a problem. If you call them they won't really be able to help as the problem isn't occurring right now. I'd suggest backing up your data while the PC is on and working. Dependant on how much data you have you'll need something like this:

    4GB stick: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-v125w-usb-key-flash-drive-4gb-02620862-pdt.html

    8GB stick: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/sandisk-extreme-cruzer-contour-usb-flash-drive-8gb-00925500-pdt.html
