    Go to your desktop and right click.

    Hit properties,

    Go into ScreenSaver Tab,

    And someone in there, it should have how many minutes that it'll wait until the screensaver comes up.

    Your computer goes into power save mode. SImply adjust your settings. Right-click on the desktop. Choose properties, click Screensaver tab, then settings.
