Have you CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the task manager? You can see what processes are running and how much resources are being tied up.
I have a similar configuration and I don't experience any such prob (I have Flash on idle for a couple of days at a time when I forget to disconnect before the weekend).
There are also various process monitor utilities out there to identify what's running to hog your system resources.
One suggestion you might look at is what your power settings are. You may very well be in hibernate mode in which case, everything is idled down. It may take some time before your system comes back up as Windows tries to restore system settings from its cache.
