My Wii has been doing 2 weird things. From time to time, I will hear a really loud grinding noise when I go to the main menu on the Wii. And something else just happened. I was playing Wii Sports, and suddenly the game froze. There was also a loud humming sound that wouldn't stop. It wouldn't respond to any buttons. The only thing I could do was unplug the Wii. Has anything like this happened to any one else?

Each time the gamecube and the wii froze, they always make that loud stupid sound. And any game can freze.

If the sound that the Wii does when going from a channel to the menu is a clipping sound then I think it's normal. Not sure what you mean by grinding sound.

I know what you mean. My Wii Sports game froze three times in a row when I was playing it. But now it doesn't do that anymore.

My Wii Sports froze yesterday, but all I had to do was unplug it, and the problem disappeared.

More problems for the Wii? Well, at least it doesn't die like that other console. Yeah, you know which one.

Game freezing can any occur on any game console including pcs. It's normal and often occurs after playing for a long time.

I've had a game freeze on my Wii before. Also, one thing that I noticed is periodically when the wii is turned of the disk drive is glowing blue. It usually flashes blue but i doubt it is normal to glow blue when it is turned off. Does anyone know anything about this?

Mine has frozen a couple times during wii sports, but it's so rare it didn't bother me at all. Everything freezes up at some point.

I've had my WII since launch and haven't had any of these problems, I think you guys should call nintendo and get yours looked at.
