Results: Left computer on over night. This morning after I woke it up I 
had the gray screen and unresponsive computer (no kbd/mouse). So I 
believe this indicates that it may not be M$ device that is crashing 
computer. I've been wondering about this because why does system work 
with M$ device for a period of hours and then crash?

Some more important details: After these crashes system will reboot and 
boots to sddm login screen with progress bar then to my plasma5 desktop. 
All looks normal except mouse cursor in middle of screen which of course 
won't move. Also I enable login sound and after crash when rebooting I 
hear the login sound.

So X works and sound works. All I know of that aren't working are still 
kbd and mouse. This experiment just suggests that crash happens with 
either wired cheap OMN devices or M$ wireless device.

Also to clear up a possible miscommunication on my part last night. I 
don't ever leave the Live .iso running long enough to know if that 
would/wouldn't crash. All I know is that on hardware after install on 
SSD system works for a period of hours and then at some point crashes. 
Crash has happened both while I was using computer and while I was away. 
It is consistent. I've documented now 8 installs in a row, the last one 
with different kbd/mouse, the crash eventually happens.

I'll provide any logs needed to resolve this just tell me what is needed.
