hibernate & stand by

I just purchased a new PC and when I click on my options to shut down my comp I can only completely turn off or restart, my option to stand by or hibernate is greyed out and I cant click it

Does anyone know how I can make this function work? Thanks

When I go to power options I dont see any thing like that

However, if I go into standby...to start it back up again I don't need to input the password.

I'm sure there's other differences but that's what I know off the top of my head.
