Adding webcam to Windows VM crashing host.

I run my daughter's desktop as a Windows 10 VM on my UnRAID server.  I passthrough the Nvidia video card, and an on-board USB controller to her VM, and it has worked fine for quite some time.  I recently tried to add a webcam to the setup, connecting it to the hub she already uses for mouse and keyboard, and on starting the camera, the mouse and keyboard stopped responding - i then noticed that the unraid server was unresponsive as well.  I hard reset the unraid server, and it eventually recovered.  I thought it might be a power issue, as it was using an unpowered USB hub - so I grabbed a nice 3.0 powered hub, and tried it again.  Same thing happens.  I honestly don't even know where to look for this, to get an idea of what might be causing this.
