XPS 13 9333 USB Ports Not Recognizing Any Device

I was using my laptop at home and was trying to connect a USB external hard drive. About one second after I connected the device, I get a pop-up saying the device was not recognized or the device malfunctioned (which isn't the case as the device works on other computers). I tried using a thumb drive, a USB mouse and a headset, only to get the same pop-up. 

The computer has the Intel 4th Gen i7 4500, and is currently running Windows 8.1 (x64). 

When I checked the Universal Serial Bus Controllers using the Device Manager, I see four items:
1. Generic USB Hub
2. Intel(R) 8 Series USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 - 9C26
3. USB Root Hub
4. USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller

The fourth controller has a warning sign beside it, and when I click on the controller, it says "the device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)" 

When I try to update the driver, or delete then re-install, nothing changes. I've tried downloading the 
USB 3.0 eXtensible (...) driver which I've read could be the fix, and it says that the machine doesn't meet the system requirements. 

I feel like I'm missing an "Intel(R) 8 Series" controller seeing as the one I have says "#1", but whenever I scan for new drivers or driver updates, nothing comes up. 

Please help. :(
