This may or may not help you.

I had a similar issue while watching streaming movies. Comp would turn
on blank screensaver at 20 minutes. Still could hear sound. Checked
screensaver options and it was set to 'None' BUT, 20 minutes was set in
the time option - although it was grayed out. So, turned on screensaver,
set time to 120 minutes, then turned screensaver OFF again. So far, it
hasn't gone into screensaver mode during a movie.

Like I said, may not be your issue. This only began after SP2. Otherwise
all is well. HTH.
