It might not be your solution but at the very least you should be only using powered USB risers exclusively.
I am using two USB powered risers for two of my cards. The other two are powered by the mobo, which I figure is fine as it's a gaming motherboard (Gigabyte G1 Sniper A88X).
Here is a picture of my rig (w/ two unplugged cards, was testing other two):

I just tried this with a Blu-Ray drive and a HDD, but nothing changes. Thanks anyway.
Update:
More Pictures of My setup (fully connected and with HDD and blu-ray)
