Random pc shutting off

Epicxcrafter

ok so my pc keeps shutting off at almost random once a day around 5:30 est and let me say this is not a windows random shut down this is a full pc shut off like someone unplugged the power cable and this is not like shutting off when runing a high demanding application these have been on the desktop doing nothing. i have it plugged in a power strip but i have tried a different plug on it  and i know its not the whole strip cause my monitor and anything else plugged in dose not loses power. is this my psu or something else.HELP

Happens at the same time everyday? Whether you're using it or not?

Gosh, I hate it when people forget. Anyway, check out my PC below, and there's a PCPartPicker link on my profile, If you wanna see what I'm planning.

Maybe check the bios, there might be something there that's making it shut down at that time...?

What is actually supposed to go here? Some people put their specs, others put random comments or remarks about themselves or others, and there are a few who put cryptic statements.

that picture shows some what of the temps at idle but i am taking it with a grain of salt cause that freq#0 and #1 get to 3592mhz (btw this is not over clocked so idk why it is showing 3.5 when base is 3.4) and temps get down to 7 degrees at idle and this is not water cooled or anything so those temps are wrong anyways

could it be the cmos battery look at sign 2

https://www.bayt.com/en/specialties/q/10887/what-are-the-signs-of-cmos-battery-failure/

cause last night at the time of my post it turned off and boot looped a bit and now its seems fine when i turn it on

it may not be the cmos tho cause it still is keeping time and date

 

I doubt it, but if you want to try that you're welcome too. I'd reset the CMOS anyway if this is happening at exactly the same time everyday. You can buy CMOS batteries at the dollar store, though I doubt it's dead. If there is some sort of timer setup, clearing the CMOS should disable it.

I can guarantee your CMOS battery is not dying if you've only had your computer for one year. Those things last 10 years no problem. Try clearing it, but It's not dead, that's for sure.

ok if you say so i know when i got it, it came from a refurbisher so i dont know if he replaced it and the pc is around 6 to 4 years old since its fm2 socket and it still has a windows 7 sticker and some cheap battery's can some times last only 2 years but most will last 10 but i am going to reset the cmos and see
