USB keeps crashing

[middle_pickup]

I've had ongoing issues with my PC's usb connections for some time. It seems that if I use too much bandwidth over any combination of my different usb ports the whole system's connection to all usb connected drives and peripherals crashes. I've tried uninstalling drivers in device manager, and reinstalling them through windows update. No fix. I could really use some advice.

 

I use a TP Link archer T4U usb 3.0 wifi dongle, and a couple usb 3 portable hard drives. Using the hard drives and a steady wifi download all at once will crash all my usb.

 

My PC is built on this Gigabyte z270x-ud5 motherboard. I also have a generic Anker usb 3.0 expansion card that also crashes. I've even tried using just those usb ports thinking the motherboard's usb buses might be faulty. Idk what to try next.

Shouldn't the system just throttle the transfers dynamically instead of crashing though? I've never seen a system do this before building this PC. It's kind of been going on for a couple years. I didn't use much usb connectivity until now. It's become a real issue.
