laptop crashes in sleep mode

Hi,
Ive had my laptop 3 months, An Acer travelmat 5720G. Always been fine until
the last 2 days, when I close the lid or hit the sleep button it enters sleep
mode as it should but will not wake up, the power light remains on but what
ever I do It doesnt wake. I have to hold power button down the cut the power
and reboot. Ive checked the power options and reloaded their default settins
but nothing works! Please help!

Re: laptop crashes in sleep mode

The hybrid sleep feature and the hibernation feature in Windows Vista may
become unavailable after you use the Disk Cleanup Tool :

Re: laptop crashes in sleep mode

Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Accessories.
2. Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you
are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the
password, or click Continue.
3. Type powercfg -h on, and then press ENTER.

Re: laptop crashes in sleep mode

Go to Advance Power Settings.

Set hard drive to turn off a minute or 2 before sleep.

Set Hybrid and Hibernate modes to "Never"

Under USB settings select "Disable"

Under Multimedia select "Allow ....."
