Locks up on "Sleep"

[Rick]

When I close the lid on the computer, the computer normally goes into sleep
mode. And it does this just fine if I turn off the modem and internet
connection.

If I don't hit the switch on the front of my laptop that turns off the
modem, it locks up, I have to remove the battery and reboot.

I've seen something like this issue before. Just a few more questions
and I may be able to help you out a little bit.
What operating system are you using?
What brand of notebook do you have? and what model?

If you would like, you may email me at (e-mail address removed).
I will be happy to help you out.
