Windows 10: insufficient system resources exist to complete the api

This is driving me nuts, just what is "insufficient system resources exist to complete the api"? My PC is an i7 with 16gb ramm, the mobo is Z97 OC Formula(could it be intel usb 3.0 management?). It started up just after I put in the 5th USB hard drive, so I have 3 hubs for better power distribution, 5 USB 3.0 HDs plugged into a 7 port usb 3.0 hub and 5 devices (mouse, KB(logitechg19 with color lcd, and hub so it acts as 3 devices), hub with phone, xbox controller, and a small hub for random usb sticks)

Right now I can only have about 8-9 devices plugged in at once without an issue add another device and that device gives an api error, I unplug it and another device plug that one back in and it works fine, this is happening on all ports which leads me to think its a windows issue. Would a pcie USB 3.0 card help any? If the problem is specific to the motherboard then a USB card in theory should bypass that issue.

I've restarted, pulled all devices restarted, installed all devices one at a time nothing is work it almost feels like windose assigned the same hardware ID to a few devices and can only run one of those at a time.

I am at my witts end dealing with this.
