The noise the USB cord makes?

Question

My computer will make a noise of what I recognize to be the same noise as when I plug in a USB cord. The thing is nothing is plugged in and I am not sure if it is a virus or not.

Does anyone else have this problem? Or know of how to fix it?

*It also will freeze up my computer while it is making that nosie, sometimes I even have to restart my computer because it never unfreezes*

Answer 1

Sounds like some internal hardware is loose. Check your PCI devices.

Answer 2

Are you certain that nothing USB is plugged in? some keyboards and mice can be USB. If one of those devices are malfunctioning, they can produce the problem you are experiencing. I had a USB printer that started doing the same thing. When I got rid of the printer, the problem went away.
