Wii keeps freezing few miniutes after running

My Nintendo Wii keeps freezing a few minutes after turning it on. I was watching Netflix and it popped up with a loading screen and froze. There was no function of any button on the remote or console itself. I shut it down by unplugging it and waited five minutes before rebooting, went into Netflix again and it froze while loading the Netflix app. I repeated the unplugging process and went into Wii settings to see if there was a system update, and it keeps freezing every time I try to do that. I've dusted the system, left it unplugged overnight, and no success. It keeps doing the same thing. I went on the Nintendo site and it says this problem requires repairs, so I would have to send it in and pay at least $75-- I can buy a used/refurbished Wii for $70 so this doesn't seem like a good option. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,

Do you check is the fan on back side working? Do you try "Reset"?

Remove all USB devices, and the memory card.

Regards.

I'm going to try erasing and formatting mine because it's doing the same thing. I'll let you know what happened
