what do you mean when you say "it locks"

Does the screensaver come up and you are asked for a password?

Does it actually "lock" and you need to reboot the machine

cheers

maybe try this ??

From the control Panel, Select System and Maintenance and then Power Options. From here you can select one of several power management options.
