vista beta 2 64 bit laptop does not return hibernati

I installed Windows Vista Beta 2 64-bit version on an eMachine M6809 laptop (AMD Mobile Athlon 64 2.0GHz) with 1.25GB ram. Vista runs fine on the laptop. However, after installing Vista on the laptop, I walked away from the laptop for about two hours. When I reeturned, the laptop went in to hibernation.
The laptop power button light was blinking (this is normal indication of hibernation mode). I pressed the power button to bring Vista out of hibernation mode and there was no video. I made sure the LCD did not go dim. I made sure the brightness had been turned up all the way; moved the mouse and clicked the mouse a few times without any video; and press the power button to see if Vista would automatically shut down like Windows XP does on the laptop and on response whatsoever. I finally had to hold down the power button for about 10 seconds and the laptop shut off.
Anyone else experience this problem with Vista Beta 2 64-bit version?

Are you running A/V software? CA caused the same problem on my x86 desktop so now I am using AVAST! and hibernation works fine in and out.

There is no A/V software. I only installed Vista Beta 2 64-bit version on the laptop and no other software has been installed at this time.

Hitting return, clicking the mouse wakes up my computer from sleep, but I get no video or any other response other than all the hardware spins up. I have to hit the restart key, which makes it look like its booting from scratch, but when Vista shows up on the screen it states resuming from sleep. Seems somewhat strange to me, but it does it everytime.

Whenever the laptop goes in to hibernation or stand-by mode, the same problem occurs. I installed the Vista 64-bit version of the ATI Radeon 9600 driver on ATI's web site and this made no difference.
Here is the article that describes the error that occurs in Vista 64-bit version:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293078
but there is no hardware acceleration feature available on this laptop. I presume there is no hardware acceleration on laptops, but I could be wrong.
This problem is an annoying one because I have to reboot the laptop to get back in to Vista. I know I can adjust the power settings to prevent Vista from going in to hibernation or standby mode, but I did not expect Vista to have this wake up problem from hibernation or standby modes; because this feature has been in Windows for years, but Vista is a different and new operating system.

That is how I wake up XP on my laptop as well. It is more the latptop hardware than Vista.
