XPS 8900 freezing

So I recently got xps 8900, immediately installed a SSD drive and upgraded the ram from 8GB to 16GB.

I also used the old logitech solar keyboard and logitech wireless mouse from the old computer(they use a little usb receiver) and only been using these wireless devices for today and it's frozen twice. Couldn't even plug in a usb mouse or keyboard and have the computer respond.

For the first two days while doing the initial ssd install and windows 10 updates this computer stayed on for two straight days using the included wired mouse/keyboard. No issues with computer freezing or booting up.

But when I gave this computer as a Christmas gift then installed the old wireless logitech keyboard and mouse the computer has frozen twice in a span of 8 hours.

So I'm not sure if it's a USB issue or if the wifi card is causing problems because I've seen a few threads mention to remove this card or disable a wifi driver as they've had BSOD or other issues.

Computer looks great and seems to run perfectly, until these last two freezing issues. I plan on buying a new logitech mouse, but the old one has worked perfectly for 6 or so years on an older XPS computer so I know that's not broken at all.

Update:

Just wanted to add that I checked it a few minutes ago and it was frozen again. No controls from usb keyboard or mouse. Tried Windows key and numlock, capslock, no lights on those.

I have sleep mode disabled, so only the monitor is turning off. After this 3rd time freezing I went ahead and disabled wifi driver and am now running ethernet. At the rate it freezes, it should be frozen again in the morning. Didn't have a problem with this at all for two straight days....

Update 2:

-Ran Dell Diagnostic, everything checked good

-Disabled some sleep settings under power options, advanced settings
