Hi delmec......
Had your same problem. Changed my power settings for monitor and hard drive to NEVER and the power scheme to HOME/OFFICE. I haven't had a problem since.
Good Luck !

 

What mtbird suggested is what suggest also. One other thing you may try first though, is turn off any screensaver you may have.

 

thanks for the info will try this weekend let u know what happens
