Ya. I have solved the problem. On the Dell support site, you would find some upgrade for various drivers. Just download those upgrades. Run them. I can't tell you which one of the driver is related to this key combination, because I downloaded all of them together and ran them together. But finally the problem was solved. Now I can hibernate using the Fn+ F1. There is one update which wont run and that is BIOS Flash driver update. It gives some error, which I dont understand. Else all other drivers will work. If you are able to run the BIOS driver update, tell me how u did that. Rest working fine.
