C# FORM with image and auto close

I have a problem I made a new form, with background img, and all I need and its working like I wanted, but I also need to auto close it after 5 or 10 seconds.

I searched on google all day ... but no tutorial was good. I use Visual Studio 2013.

Can you boys help me please... I'm desperate right now... its almost 10 hours since I'm trying. You are my last hope. Thanks

this.close() dosen't did it, or I made it wrong but i doubt that. Application.Exit fail timers give errors... 

//form
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Cerum_HS
{
    public partial class CERUM_HS : Form
    {
        public CERUM_HS()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Rectangle r = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;
            this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
            this.Location = new Point(Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width - this.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height - this.Height);
        }
    }
}


//main.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Timers;
//using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Cerum_HS
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>


        private static System.Timers.Timer aTimer;

        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new CERUM_HS());

            aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
            aTimer.Interval = 10;

            aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(10);

            aTimer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;

            aTimer.AutoReset = false;

            aTimer.Enabled = true;
        }

        private static void OnTimedEvent(Object source, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            //Console.WriteLine("The Elapsed event was raised at {0}", e.SignalTime);
            Application.Exit();
            //this.close();
        }
    }
}

Since my comment seemed to help, I thought I write it down as an answer.

public partial class CERUM_HS : 
{
    // here is the timer for the automatic closing
    private static System.Timers.Timer aTimer;

    public CERUM_HS()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        Rectangle r = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;
        this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
        this.Location = new Point(Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width - this.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height - this.Height);
    }

    private void Form_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        // start here the timer when the form is loaded
        aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
        aTimer.Interval = 10;

        aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(10);

        aTimer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;

        aTimer.AutoReset = false;

        aTimer.Enabled = true;
    }

    private static void OnTimedEvent(Object source, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        // Close the Application when this event is fired
        Application.Exit();
    }

}

Bogdan please comment if this implementation is how it worked for you in the end.

I would put a PictureBox and timer on your form (set to 5000 ms), click on the Tick event, and use this code:

namespace Image
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            // set picture box to image of interest
            // size and position form appropriately
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            timer1.Enabled = false;
            this.Close();
        }
    }
}
