I'm also having the same problem.. The exact same "symptoms".

When i close the lid the computer goes into sleep mode when i open the lid
again it appears that the computer turns back on but the screen stays black.
In the end I shut it down abruptly by holding down the power button for 3 sec.

I got a Genex laptop model M570U3.
