Windows 7 Sleep mode

[dizzled85]

I have a HP Pavilion a6607c with Windows 7 64 bit installed, the computer goes to sleep just fine, but when I try to wake it from sleep everything turns on but no fully fans working but the LED light goes from blue back to orange as if it is stuck in sleep mode, I have updated the bios but im not sure why it still gets stuck in standby mode. How can this be fixed?
