Sadly I can not find any logs that state anything relating to the issue 
I have. Nothing in Xorg logs, everything.log, nothing in Nvidia logs 
show there even was a hang/lock up. Its really bizarre

Is there a way I can start things to possibly log this?

No I am not it is just how it installs from the driver install no 
changes other than running. nvidia-xconfig

Sorry for not being able to give better info, this is why I have tried 
so long to figure this out myself since there is not much to show whats 
happening, as I have things now. Hopefully there is some way to get 
whats happening into a log file of some kind.
