Question OneXPlayer Crashes Due To Keyboard Input?

My OneXPlayer's battery recently inflated, so I had to remove it. Internals are fine, ports are fine, and external battery + cable seem to be fine.

Now, here's the problem: I have no idea whether it's pure coincidince or not, but my computer has crashed and rebooted twice - both times seemingly triggered by me leaving the keyboard for a bit and then pressing a button.

Played BO3 for about 40mins just as a test without issue (meaning it isn't a power-draw problem [charger+cable is a stable 65W, and onexplayer takes 40W]) , and the intervals at which it powers off seem to be random. First it happened on initial boot with new battery something like 10 minutes in, then about an hour or so next time it crashed where I was barely paying attention and mindlessly pressed the hotkey-combo to open my browser (Superkey+W).

The battery is an Anker GaNPrime that fully supports the way I'm trying to use it (as far as I can tell).

My keyboard is a 2.4Ghz mechanical keyboard. It has a light sleep mode that kicks in about 5-10mins of no use, and a deep-sleep mode that occurs after 20+ mins. Something like that, anyway. I was wondering if the sleep mode could be responsible for this somehow? I'll tinker around, but nothing's happened yet: I'm posting this using the OneXPlayer setup.

I'm using Hyprland on Arch linux, if that's important.
 
1. Turn off any power saving options to try,
2. Try the wireless keyboard dongle in another rear motherboard USB port.
3. If no luck, then uninstall keyboard in device manager and re-install

I think it's unrelated to the keyboard now, since it happened without me touching anything. I appreciate the help, however; I'll be double-checking my power-saving settings (they should all be off) and trying to see what I can do in the kernel or OS. If you've got any other ideas, let me know, if you would. Thanks.
