laptop crashes in sleep mode

[Matt H]

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!
