System doesn't acknowledge screen saver or sleep settings

[brukat]

While working off a SanDisk, my system locked up and I had to do a hard shutdown. It said i was out of temp. disk space and would do a system clean up. In Settings/Lock Screen I can make adjustments to screen saver and when to shut down, but nothing works. If the system is idle for 10 min. it automatically goes back to the system log in screen. Any help is appreciated.
