Last week I bought a Hp Probook 4535s with windows 7 and it displayed similar behaviour, it would not wake from sleep forcing me to hold the power button down until it turned off. I fixed the problem by updating the BIOS. I eventually found my way to a HP site which let me download and update from there!
