sorry to raise and old thread, but I've having an issue.
I keep having to force restart my system when it goes to sleep after being away from it for a while.

You must have it set to sleep aka suspend (ACPI S3 state, maybe KDE calls it standby?) after some period. The screenshot shows selecting screen lock, which is a different matter entirely, so try the other screens.

When I come back, my desktop's power button is flashing and I press it to wake up the system. I hear it starting up, but nothing else happens. The screen is still off and keyboard is unresponsive.

Most desktops won't resume from sleep successfully. Many laptop models aren't good at it!

The only way to get it back is to press the power button again, shut it off and restart it. This is not something I want to do all the time.

Right, so turn sleep / standby off. You can probably turn off the screen & lock it if desired, after a time you've set, but not the whole system.

I keep my system running all the time as it acts also has a file server where others in my home can access shared folders with movies and tv shows that I've collected over the years.

So you couldn't let it sleep, even if it'd properly resume.

I'm running 13.2-RELEASE and I'm using the KDE desktop. This is my power management setting on KDE. Is there anything else that I should be looking into?

That's only the Energy Saving part of those settings; check the other two screens.

[edit] For other KDE power options, see this post.
 
You use scfb?

If you want working resume after sleep with nvidia cards, you must use the nvidia driver.
It contains the code for restoring the state of the video card.
