I had the same issue on my asus board (nvidia chipset).
Moving the UPS to a different USB port allowed it to function and moving 
the monitor hub to a different USB port allowed it to function again.

I'm not sure if it is a bad port or what, the ports that caused issue 
with my UPS and my display did not have the issue in Fedora with the 
CentOS problem devices and work for other things in CentOS.
