It sounds like you have "Hibernation" mode activiate. Try these steps to re-configure Hibernation....
It can be configured to kick in automatically via the Power
Options Properties screen. In the screen capture below I've
selected the Portable/Laptop power scheme that includes a
setting to put the system into hibernation mode after 3
hours
of system inactivity.
The Advanced Tab in Power Options Properties gives you the
option of setting Power buttons to invoke hibernation. Many
keyboards contain a 'Sleep' key that is very convenient to
use with hibernation as illustrated in the screen capture below.
You can select "NEVER" in the pull down menu....
Let me know if this helps!
