Here are a few (not necessarily connected) thoughts:

Does the system come back up at all?  Are any keyboard led's blinking
afterward?  Does it respond to pings, and/or can you log in to it via
ssh?

Can you try using the xorg "nv" driver instead and see if that makes a
difference?

You might also try running this (as root) from command line:
  PM_DEBUG=true pm-suspend 
That should put more information into /var/log/pm-suspend.log.
Granted, it may not be terribly useful if the machine won't resume at
all, but one can hope.

Check your list of modules in use.  If one of them is r8169, then I
know for certain that it can cause resume issues, although in my case
the only impact is no network.  You can work around that by
creating /etc/pm/config.d/defaults and populating it with this line:
  SUSPEND_MODULES="r8169"
