I do not think this is hardware related.
Mavericks and Yosemite changed the behavior of clicking the power button. You have to Control-Push to get the shutdown option dialog. (If that's what your asking).
Since you failed to state the year/model of your laptop, I can't say more than this: sleep/wake failure/freezing crashing is a "known issue" of both of these OS's when used with some older boxes.
For more assistance on this I suggest you visit Apple Discussions for your exact model box, and for Yosemite.
