Computer Randomly Turns Off with 0 Warning

I built my PC back in 2019 (see specs below) and it has been running great since I built it. However, a couple months ago I got some more fans (going from 5 to 9) and since then my computer has been randomly shutting down. The only thing that stays on are the RGB on the RAM and the keyboard, and the computer won't turn back on until I turn the PSU off and back on again. Then it boots back up like nothing every happened. The average interval between shutdowns has been a week but it has been a day and has been 3 weeks so it varies quite a bit. If anyone has any idea why this is happening, it would be a great help. I was wandering if this had something to do with the fans, but I think that would be quite odd. I also am wandering if it has something to do with with my RAM as I have heard that if I am having weird issues that they could be the culprit. Thanks in advance.

 

Note: I have been trying to update my bios for a bit now to try to get ready for windows 11 and it doesn't want to recognize the bios file as a bios file for some reason, so that might also be a part of the problem but that problem has existed before the computer was shitting itself.

 

Specs:

CPU - Ryzen 9 3900X (Cooled by Lian-Li 360mm AIO)

Motherboard - Asus X570 Prime Pro

RAM - Corsair Vengeance RGB 3600 4x8GB

GPU - MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 2080ti

Storage - 2TB Corsair MP600

PSU - Corsair RM850X

Have you tried any troubleshooting things like reseating RAM, reseating the CPU, reseating GPU that sort of thing? Reinstalled Windows/tried a different OS? Run sfc/scannow?

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.
