I want to give my nephew a PC for his room. Is there a way to set it up so
it shuts down at midnight every nite and refuses to function tell 7 am?
Also, is there anyway to remotely tell it to lock down such as when he is
grounded?

I already have my Internet router setup to shut off Internet access at
midnight but want the entire PC disabled if possible. He seems to miss
alot of school lately and my attitude if he is too sick for school he is
too sick to play on the computer for a few days.

Looking for software or maybe a device that does this.

You should be aware that whatever you do to try and limit the child's access
to the computer, he will most like be able to defeat it.

As suggested, place it in an area where he can be directly supervised, or
build a rig with a server case that features a removable HDD bay and Power
supply. Remove them and lock them away during the restricted hours.
