Try going to event viewer and look for errors at the time the problem happened.
Is your laptop battery up to par?
Go to device manager and look for any drivers with a small yellow warning marker.
Sounds like it might be hardware related.

Also is the Battery Low?? Whenever (By Default) the Battery is low on a Laptop in Vista it will place your Computer into Hibernation similar to Sleep but Turns it off
Hope This Helps,
