And after upgrading the BIOS, the problem occurred again, on the third or fourth time that I suspended the laptop.

Then, instead of going to sleep, it remains powered up. In this state, nothing works to get back control, not Ctrl-Alt-Del, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-F2 (or other function key), not ^C. The only way I have found to get control is to hold the power button down, which is a power-down and then power-up.
