Computer keeps basically making a ping pong noise.

Question

Computer keeps basically making a ping pong noise.

Joseph Eggemeyer 0

It is constantly telling me that a USB device is not working, but I have unplugged every cable I have plugged in one at a time and it just keeps doing it.

These are the things I am seeing in my event report.

This one is the most common and is there about every 5 to 10 minutes, I believe it is the cause of the ping pong noises:

Session "dc3a3596-71e1-45a3-b2ea-39ad5322fe51" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000022

I also see this warning in lumps here and there:

An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk4\DR7 during a paging operation.

And this error in chunks as well:

A new BITS job could not be created. The current job count for the user *** (60) is equal to or greater than the job limit (60) specified through group policy. To correct the problem, complete or cancel the BITS jobs that haven't made progress by looking at the error, and restart the BITS service. If this error recurs, contact your system administrator and increate the per-user and per-computer Group Policy job limits.

Maybe it is a hardware problem? Did you check the disks (using Properties dialog in File Explorer, for example)?

This is the error window I get to go with the ping. But in the device manager I see nothing to determine what the USB device is. There are no alerts under the usb controllers in device manager, and if the ping occurs while I am in there, it simply refreshes two times. I think as the pings go off. I assume once to change the item to having an icon to show the error, then again removing that icon as I think it reconnects properly. The sound is like ping, then the second is more like a pigong.

From what I can tell, the K drive, that is always connecting and disconnecting, it claims to be only like 16 gb. Which feels odd. I mean I do not think I even own a drive that small. I tried to format the drive, and it claims it did it. Still disconnects and reconnects. I can have windows error check and repair, it scans it and says it is fine. I am just confused. At that size I would assume it is a usb stick, but I have none of those plugged into my pc.

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A.

Based on the description, I understand your question is related to computer keeps basically making a ping pong noise.

Ensure that the application or service triggering this error has the correct permissions. Right-click on the application or service. Select "Properties" > "Security" tab. Ensure that permissions for Administrators, System, and Users are set to "Allow Full Control".

Open Command Prompt as Administrator. Run below comands:

sfc /scannow

chkdsk /f /r

Check that all cables connected to your hard disk are secure. If possible, try using a different cable or port.

Update your drivers, if Driver Verifier has detected a specific one, you can update that driver and see if that fixes the problem. Press Windows + 'R' and type devmgmt.msc to open Device Manager. Locate the device and double-click on it to expand. Double-click on the driver and go to the Drivers tab. Click "Update Driver" and select "Automatic Search" for drivers.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Molly

My biggest problem is that I know my K drive seems to be an issue, not sure why, so I can try checking the cables and such on that... once I figure out which one it even is. I have m.2 drives as well. So I will have to determine which is which. But as far as the rest, I am not truly sure what is causing the disconnect. I do not believe it is the drive, as the drive keeps mounting and unmounting, so I have gone through the Remove disk option and selected that for that drive and been told it is safe to remove, but I still am getting the constant pinging.

I got this from running the Scannow, but do I need to rerun this with that drive active? I assume I likely should.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.

For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at

windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline

repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

After running that though, again, still getting the pings.
