you get any windows log messages at the time you attempt to wake it? It sounds like sleep state / power saving problem. If changing the C state didn't fix it, maybe remove any throttling, over or under clocking and turn off any power save features in windows you got enabled to see if you can't isolate it.Same issue as with Cyanogenmod on nook HD+, goes to sleep and nothing can make it wake up other than holding the power for 30 sec to force shut down then starting the now powered off system. The equivalent of pulling the battery.
The time I have seen the problem in the past but when I got my first haswell motherboard and the power supply couldn't hit the deep sleep C states that were introduced in that platform. It would either never leave sleep or go into a bluescreen loop.
