There's always help here but it isn't always immediate. Does this happen when you boot into any of the Safe Mode options, particularly the Base Graphics mode? Do you get any clues when you go into Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer?

Only thing I can see that might have something to do with this is

Microsoft Windows security auditing.

Hello?

Any suggestions?

Thx

Exactly what do you mean by "locking"? It goes to the "hit Ctrl Alt Del to unlock" screen? Or ust goes blank? Try to time it, see if it's the same time each time. If it's a setting and it does it every 10 minutes it will do it exactly every 10 minutes.

If the screen goes blank, check your power options and also the monitor power options.
