Computer getting stuck in sleep mode

[E Money]

Maybe like once every two months my computer gets stuck in sleep mode. It will fall asleep but will not wake up. I have to give it a hard shut down once and upon restart it tries to resume my session. I then shut it down a second time and it gives me the option to resume previous session or to boot regularly. I tell it to not restore what ever was going on when and to boot normally.
Any clue to what may be causing this?

Do you overclock? If so that is your issue.

Every PC I overclocked can never be brought out of sleep mode again unless you immediately get out of sleep mode after going into it. It just continuously boots up and down till you reset or unplug it.
