My laptop is 4 months old. I have over 65 GB left on C: and 5.6 GB left on my D: drive. Someone please tell me what has gone wrong . Thank you.

No one can tell you what it is. The only way to find out is through trial
and error.

Personally, I don't use a screen saver. I simply have my monitor turn off
after x number of minutes.

My sidebar clock has a second hand running, does that considered as " something running "?

Thank you, everyone. I have the answer. It was my Wireless mouse pointer.It might not be moving, but it is running,technically. I switched back to the wired mouse, 5 min. later the screensaver came on, right on schedule !
