MOM is part of ATI's Catalyst Control Center. You might try updating your
ATI drivers to see if that helps any.

Turning MOM of is not a fix. Get it fixed and hibernation may work again
(assuming that it used to work).
Have you scanned for malware as suggested in previous replies? Do that
first, fix the MOM issue, then worry about hibernation.

I couldn't find anything that documents what that .exe does.
It does seem to be part of the ATI driver.

Uninstalling the ATI driver and reinstalling it again might be
an option. That is what someone who built their own computer
might try. If this is a laptop, sometimes you need the
driver from the manufacturer, as it may have customizations
(to run the LCD panel). But for desktop video cards, you
may be able to use a driver straight from ATI (amd.com).

If you can locate the "mom.exe" file, you might upload it
to virustotal.com and have it scanned.

C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\MOM.exe

I did scan for malware ..only found the MOM.exe ATI drivers. The only
MOM.EXE file was in the ATI folders.No separate file. Will try a new driver
from ATI.
Anyway..will keep trying and thanks again
