Are they all powered hubs?


No, one of them was, and that was the one with the biggest problems. The
problems got slightly better when I removed the power cord from it.

When it was self-powered, eventually it started crashing the machine.
Not right away, but the problems got worse and worse until the machine
got unstable and crashed. When I removed the power cord from it, it
would just sometimes fail to enumerate, but it wouldn't crash the machine.

Sounds like a flaky hub.
