You should make sure your disks are not scratched. To turn the wii off (without unplugging and all that).....Just hold the power button for a while on the counsle until it shuts off. Just out of curiousity.......and maybe a thing.........because this happened to me.........it froze because i entered a cheat and skipped to much in the game, but when i went back and did it the real way, it didn't freeze.

My wii freezes and makes a loud buzzing sound. The only way I can get it to stop is to unplug it. What should I do?
For us, this only happens when we play "Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars". The Wii freezes up and the controller shakes, vibrates and buzzes. I can take the batteries out of the controller and that stops the shaking, vibrating and buzzing, but the wii is frozen until it's reset (unplugged from the wall in our case).
We've had the Wii for about three years and this is the first time it has ever done this. We play a lot of other games and have never seen this.
So I believe it's either a software bug in the Lego game or it's a software bug in the Wii Operating System.

That problem may have been caused by lag, sometimes when there are too many things happening at once in a video game, lag can occur and the game may freeze. If that's not the case, then you may need to restart the Wii if the problem persists. Other than that, it may just be a game glitch. Give it a few days of rest, then start playing again to see if it works. Sorry, but that's all I got if this didn't help.

Your Wii isn't working anymore. I would recommend you to buy the Wii mini, since it's cheaper than the normal one.

DS-Lego StarWars - The complete Saga During the short picture montage, episode II level I, where Obi-Wan meet Jango Fett, the game freezes on Jango and I have no idea what to do, if anything can be...
Games freezing up on the DS is not a common occurance because Nintendo made the the ds-slot with a spring mechanism which makes the games go in and out perfectly every time. However sometimes the metal of the cartridge doesn't meet the metal in the DS perfectly because of dust or a hair, and since this has only happened in the Lego game the problem is probably in your cartridge.
The one thing you can do to clean the cartridge is get a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol then clean the metal part of the game. Let dry then play.
If that doesn't work the problem is actually within the cartridge, meaning the game is broken. If this is the case you can take it back to GameStop and talk to them about it again.

While playing the game, it will suddenly make a loud sound the freeze up. What can i do to do fix this?
I have the exact same problem when I play Lego Batman on my Wii. Unfortunately, since the Wii version is the same as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, it has lots of data that the Wii console can't handle sometimes, thus making that loud noise and freezing up. You can't fix it, but the best solution would be to:
1) Unplug the Wii, then plug it back in.
2) Start up the game and try that same part again. It should work. If it doesn't, just keep trying.
*Note: When you plug it back in and start the game again, don't do any other levels before the level that keeps freezing up and making that loud noise. I hope this helps.

Wii will freeze at random times with different games.
Please make sure you don't have your wii sitting on the carpet. Make sure the wii is sitting in the silver stand and it is on a hard surface. Carpet will make the wii overheat. Do not put the wii around any other components like home theater equipment, cable box, etc. Keep it cool by making sure air can move around it and keep it away from other hot objects.
