Have you tested by using the 2-port adapter that comes in the motherboard box ?
(The theory being, that it might be signal integrity that is the problem.)
Some computer case wiring is bad, and the Asus provided adapter might work
better.
In terms of organization, the Southbridge has two USB2 controllers inside.
One controls 6 of the USB ports. The other controls 4 of the USB ports.
The two controllers may have separate power management. Maybe what
you're seeing, is one of the controllers being disabled to save power.
You can use UVCview, to determine which controller the three pairs
of ports are connected to. That might make it easier to formulate a
theory. This used to be on the Microsoft site, but they decided
to move a few things around, and I don't know where it went. So
the utility can be downloaded from archive.org instead.
