XPS 12 Won't Sleep or Shutdown Properly

I've had my XPS12 for 2 years and for the most part it's been great.  I installed Netgear Genie recently and about the same time the XPS12 lost the ability to go to sleep.  When I hit the power switch (which is set to make the PC sleep), it shuts the computer down.  When I put it to sleep via the Charms menu, it doesn't seem to ever reach a sleep state as the light on the power button stays fully lit for 5 - 10 minutes and then the machine shuts down.  Furthermore, when I shut the machine down via the Charms menu, it does the same thing (power light stayhs lit for 5-10minutes, then the machine shuts down).  I've since uninstalled Netgear Genie but am still having the same problem.  This is a major issue for me as I am constantly on the go and probably put the PC in and out of sleep mode 6-10 times per day.  With the machine in it's current state, I lose and have to recover anything I haven't saved when I forget that it's broken and try to put it in sleep.  If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thx.
