Hard shutdown after suspend

I have suspend working fine such that the system will appropriately power down after I close the lid and then awake when I open it. However, every time I wake the system up, everything will be normal for 10-20 seconds then the system shuts down as if someone pulled out the battery. Any Ideas? I don't even know what log to look at for this kind of thing.

So it shuts down without going through the normal poweroff sequence? May be an ACPI bug perhaps? Have you tried switching to some of the other suspend backends? Have you tried updating your BIOS/EFI? Is there anything interesting in the logs?

Yes, it just does a hard power off without any warning or signs of a normal software shutdown sequence. Do you know what log I should look at? I also don't know where I would find any EFI updates as the system is made by a company that doesn't believe in posting much of anything on its website let alone drivers and updates (Avatar PC, stay away from these guys). What are the other suspend backends?

You will find info about the different suspend backends in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Suspend

The logs are in /var/log. Check the file named "everything" if you are using syslog, or use journalctl if you're using systemd-journal.
