OK your system has 3 GByte of memory with 4 GByte of SWAP.

You have 2,75 GByte of Memory + 256 MByte of Graphic Ram right?

If your system use the the SWAP partition to  hybernate,  then  it  will
fail, because it has to do a "swapoff" and write  the  contents  of  the
SWAP to memory.

In clear, you are currently using

    4096 MByte RAM + 374 MByte SWAP - 249 MByte Free

    = 4221 MByte = 4,12 GByte

which is to much o fit into memory.
