my wii froze and made this tone.

i was playing dead space extraction and i got to the end of chapter 3 (at least i think it was the end) and it frove and made that same tone in the video which was coming from the speakers and not the wii.

the only way to get it to stop was to pull the power cord from it, removing the disc or pressing power didnt fix it.

i want to know why did this happen and how do i prevent it from happening again?

and the wii was NOT hot.

it happened to me but you have to stop playing with the wii for about an hour if you try another game and it doesn't happen then its the game.

good luck with that.

Mine kept on freezing with different games all of a sudden.

Then I noticed there was quite a bit of dust in one of the air vents.
I vaccumed up the dust with the vaccum cleaner attachment and it hasn't happened since.

I think it was just overheating.

Did you download all the updates? Worth a shot

My Wii has done that too. It has only happened a couple times and each incident was a few months a part. I usually just unplug it then plug it back in and it works just fine.

My Wii did that a few times.
I removed the game, unplugged the system and left it undone for a few hours to a day and it worked fine.
Hope your Wii starts working.

thats a bug with the game not the wii and im serious if you were playing Dead space ive heard it did cause occasional freezes i dont think is serious problem but im not to sure

My Wii did that during it's first days. When that happened I freaked out and unplugged the system IMMEDIATELY and left it alone for 2 days.

after day 2 It was playing again.

Never had that again.
