I was doing more research, and it seems that there could be a way to fix your problem.

Before doing this, Update all your drivers. Your problem occured to me when my network card was malfunctioning. (Not blowing up, just had a problem)

This guide..:

This was quoted from Appcrash.net. said:
Since I loaded Vista, I have not been able to get my laptop to sleep. It worked fine under XP but would immediately come back. The answer that I found is to turn off the Wake On Lan feature of the network card. Apparently, this is now turned on by default. Here are the steps that I followed to get it to work.


Right click on Network and bring up properties OR select Control Panel and then Network and Sharing Center
Select Manage Network Connections






Double-Click on the Ethernet Card to bring up Propertied




Select Properties and OK the permissions




Select Configure




Select Advanced




Select Wake Up Capabilities and then NONE on dropdown list on the right




Select OK and then you should be able to sleep.

This worked for me on my Dell Inspiron 9300. Hopefully it will work for you too.

Rep me if I helped ya! ^^
