Hello.
Recently I've begun having a once a day hiccup with my PC. My sound, mouse, and keyboard will simply stop working for 3-5 seconds and then come back like nothing happened. Currently it has only happened while gaming and only once a day, but honestly I'd really like to figure out whats causing it even if its not that disruptive yet. There is no lead up to it happening, it just happens.
I have nothing overclocked besides XMP if that counts, my gpu is lightly underclocked and has been for a bit over 2 years. I ran a light [12 hours] memtest and my RAM came back fine from it, and between crystaldisk and samsung magician my drives all appear to be fine. I don't have spare components to throw in, so honestly I'm at a loss. When it first happened, my cat jumped onto my desk really hard and made it shift a bit so I thought it was just a weird effect from that but its happened daily since then without any prompt I can find. It has not frozen, shut itself down or needed to be force restarted since it started happening. I have an external dac/amp combo that was disconnecting on and off, so I swapped its ports and it solved the issue but I'm not sure if that'd be related. I also have been keeping HWinfo open to watch temps just to see and nothing is abnormally high or even above average.
My specs are -
Ryzen 5600x
Gigabyte b550 Aorus Elite
Crucial DDR4 3200mhz 32gb
Corsair 750 RMX
EVGA 3070ti
Samsung 970 Evo Plus
Samsung 850 Sata drive x2
Windows 10 Home
Any help or even just advice of something to check would be appreciated because I have no idea how to troubleshoot this at this point. If I missed any relevant info please let me know.

The age of that Cosair PSU is being questioned.
The daily schedule time seems to vary—possibly 7:13 p.m. or different intervals.
Check the Reliability History/Monitor for more details.
Also review Task Scheduler; another application might be responsible for the stoppage.
Using HWInfo to monitor temperatures is suggested.
Process Explorer (free from Microsoft) can also help.
If the timing is stable, observe process changes when USB functionality is disabled.

The PSU is around 2 years old, a bit newer than my GPU. Right now it seems like the PC might start within about 5 hours. It’s possible to wait a few hours and see if something changes, but I’m not sure what signs to look for. The Reliability Monitor indicates a critical event occurred, though the exact time isn’t clear. Task Scheduler appears inactive during these moments, which might mean it’s not recording activity properly. Process Explorer looks like a good option since I’m unsure of other monitoring tools, and I notice Hardware Interrupts are listed, which could be relevant to check.
