I know you said you've got the latest drivers but that's still where I'd be looking, firstly to the motherboard drivers.
It's for this sort of reason that I'm not a fan of USB for networking.
Also check BIOS settings for USB are correct, I had a MoBo running in legacy mode for USB (I assume it meant 1.1?) and I had all sorts of weirdness.
Its always possible that removing the USB device causes a bus reset, for some reason.
Possibly a driver issue or might be a physical issue, and you pulling out the other devices cause a power surge or short circuit which then causes the problem.
Are the USB devices all in the root ports, or are you using them on hubs?
Not using a hub.
Happens on all USB memory sticks.
I have turned off and on again the legacy in the BIOS.
