Lately, my laptop has been running into an issue where it won't turn on after being closed, unless I hold down the power button for 10 seconds, then attempt to turn it on. This has become an issue because all my unsaved documents just disappear. Is there a fix for this?
 
Go into power settings, change settings where it does not hibernate or suspend when closing lid! I would say Your laptop is hibernating!
