Printer (Mainsail/Pi) Crashes

Yesterday any attempt to print (the same object 7 times) failed, the crashes are random, could be a minute or ten minutes into the print,
Has happened before on two or three occasions (over a period about 12 days), restarting the printer appears to fix the issue, but now, not so much.

The Crash:
Mainsail crashed in browser, cannot connect to 192...
Mainsail screen looks normal on printer but touch screen unresponsive, requiring power cycle to restart...

Checked:
I monitored the Pi temps, they were fine ~35° C....
Everything else appears normal...
No errors or irregular entries in logs...
No loose cables...

Follow these threads for troubleshooting:
Here... and Here...

Ran stress tests on CPU and SD card... No issues found...
Set up Persistent Logging... Still crashing but no errors in logs...

Found it!, this solution (by Sineos) worked:
Adding:
Code:
dtoverlay =dwc2
to end of /boot/firmware/config.txt

Conclusion:
With constant updates to software, issues like this can occur. If you experience crashes out of the blue, try the fix first...
