I found on another platform, that making sure S3 was enabled
in my BIOS stopped this from happening. I was getting bounced
to the login screen, until I enabled S3.
Do a Google search on dumppo.exe . It is a tiny Microsoft
utility, that allows setting an "administrative override", to
repair ACPI problems. If the OS is convinced that the platform
doesn't support S3 for example, dumppo.exe can be used to change
the setting, and re-enable it. If you never installed the
ACPI HAL to begin with (i.e. used "Standard PC"), then dumppo
cannot fix that. The OS had to have the ACPI HAL used, to make
it possible to do a repair.

CAP = Capabilities
PS = Power Supply
BS = Battery Supply
ADMIN = Administration
AC = AC Power Settings
DC = DC Power Settings
AC MAXSLEEP=Sx
AC MINSLEEP=Sx
where x is the ACPI value (1 & 3)
This command should tell you what states are supported:
dumppo cap
and a command something like this can change the settings:
dumppo admin /ac maxsleep=S3
Not sure if the syntax of the last command is exactly right.
Keep checking with "dumppo cap" until the values look right.
Dumppo runs from a command window - there is no GUI.
