Sometimes USB 2.0 hubs can handle more electrical noise from the host
controller, especially if they are externally powered by a wall-wort.
So introducing a USB 2.0 hub may fix the transfer errors caused by the
host.
BTW, do these Ivy Bridge systems have any (blue) USB 3.0 ports? If so,
does your mouse and keyboard work under those ports?
