USB is unplugged but MBP keeps messaging me to unplug it

Hey guys! This is my first time using this, I've had Macs for like 8 years, and I've had my current MBP for a little over a year. A couple of days ago I got the pop up in the upper right corner to unplug my USB devices and I did, but I keep getting the messages even when I close them. Any suggestions?

MacBook (13-inch Early 2008), iOS 9.1

Just what does the message say? Something like drawing too much power?

USB Devices Disabled

Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devises.

- Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
