Unable to get USB 3.0 display working - Win 8.1

Same here with my M5-581T laptop, on Windows 8.1

When plugging in the USB3 port, the monitor connects and disconnects repeatedly, the screen flashing and Windows notification sounds.

Then I plug on the USB2 port and all works perfectly...

I guess it is by chance that I still have a USB2 port. Now I'd like to tap the performance that USB3 can give. I heard that Intel's USB3 drivers for Windows 8.1 don't work well with other USB3 devices like external hard disk drives.

So how do we fix this ?
