If you mean that the box activates a password-protected screensaver 
after X minutes, then don't worry, that shouldn't affect your rendering. 
(Unless the selected screensaver uses a lot of CPU power, which usually 
isn't the case.)

If you mean that the box goes into some kind of power-save mode after Y 
minutes, then /that/ will be your problem. Ignore the screensaver 
settings, look at Power Management. (It may be that those settings are 
locked too, in which case... sorry.)
