Is hibernate enabled? Right-click on the desktop, select properties, go to
screen saver tab, click power button, select hibernate tab and check if
hibernation is enabled.

I have had this problem several times in the past. Hibernation is
particularly finicky with video drivers. I'd suggest that you download the
latest, WHQL certified driver from www.nvidia.com. The reason for needing
the WHQL driver is that it's been certified to work with Windows by Microsoft.

If this doesn't solve it, post back and we'll go through some other steps.
