I just recently bought a 4 port USB 3.0 HUB and a 1.5 meter USB 3.0 extension cable. I plugged the extension cable to the rear USB 3.0 port and plugged the USB hub on the other end of the cable and plugged a USB device on on port causes BSOD.

These are the things I also did that doesn't cause BSOD:
  • Plugging the hub directly at the rear USB 3.0 port (tried the two ports, the former only detects two ports of the hub, the latter detects all of the port but one seems doesn't work but doesn't cause BSOD)
  • Plugging the hub directly at the rear and front USB 2.0 port (all works fine with no crashes)
  • Plugging two USB drives (one 3.0 and one 2.0) directly into the extension cable (doesn't crash)
  • Plugging the extension to another USB 3.0 port and did the third point again (also didn't crash)
Idk why it crashes.

PC specs:
i5 6400
Asus h110M-K
2x 500GB HDDs (one standard sized, one salvaged from a external drive)
no GPU (yet)
single channel generic Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM.

First, make sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date. Second, which version of Windows 10 are you on? Third, did you let the OS automatically download and install the drivers for the USB hub? Link to the USB hub in question and the cable used?

How to know if you are up to date?
Edit: it is up to date. it is on version 4210 which is the same as on the website

Second, which version of Windows 10 are you on?
1903 (?)

Third, did you let the OS automatically download and install the drivers for the USB hub?
Idl, but i tried to update the driver at the device manager. I updated almost all under the USB controllers and the issue seems not fix.

Link to the USB hub in question and the cable used?
Idk if it is worth looking at. but here you go: USB hub and USB Extension cable
