From what you say it sounds like the notebook is not coming back from sleep. That would be an acpi problem. Research acpi on dell inspiron 1525 and see what others may have done to solve the problem.
Does that mean no video after wake up? Or no keyboard-mouse?
It may be a video driver, keyboard, mouse not coming back after sleep.
You may be able to reload them upon resuming.
Or you may not solve the acpi issue.
Post back if you find the answer, so others can benefit.
