Windows 10: USB port works **** in noise sounding every second, with usb icon flash in lower panel

90% of the time, my laptop plays an audible error sound every second or two and the usb port symbol flashes in the bottom right panel. When I adjust the laptop screen this can change the alert to either return or sometimes briefly disappear.I have noticed that my laptop camera is also affected by this - "we cannot find your camera"I have completed the updates that were recommended to me, and I expect this may be a hardware fault of some kind. Is there anything I can do to be sure?The laptop is a Porsche Design Ultra One, and I have no idea how I would get support from them.
