Sure, we can help you.But you have to post your code.
Solving your problem like this is impossible, we don't know what game or what the timer is trying to do.

Make sure you have enabled the timer after setting the interval correctly.

Like stated above it's hard to figure out what you need...

A very simple timer demo would look something like this:

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Demo demo = new Demo();
            demo.Run();
        }
    }

    class Demo
    {
        private Timer _timer;
        private int _iteration;
        private bool _gameOver;

        public void Run()
        {
            _gameOver = false;
            _iteration = 1;
            //init Timer (System.Timers.Timer)
            _timer = new Timer();
            _timer.Interval = 10000;
            _timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(_timer_Elapsed);
            _timer.Start();
            
            while (!_gameOver)
            {
                //game logic
                Console.WriteLine("Game Loop No." + _iteration.ToString());

                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);
                _iteration++;
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Game over (timeout hit)");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        void _timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            //timout hit
            _gameOver = true;
        }
    }
