Wii not loading some games

For the most part our wii has run great since day 1. In the past few months it doesn't want to run some games. The first one was guitar hero III. Ended up sending the disk back for the mono sound problem anyway and now it works fine. But now we got Cranium Kabookii and it won't run.
The machine can read the disc, at least it knows what disc it is and displays the splash screen and such. When you go to run it it looks like it's going to go and then does the gray boxes across the screen and just goes back to the main menu.
Is this a bad disc or my wii dying?

This happened to me too .... fortunately, it was barely under warranty (I think I had maybe 2 more weeks) so nintendo replaced the insides for free.
I tried a CD cleaner and it didn't work.
Hope it all works out for you

1 year I believe =(
I got mine on launch and one day it wouldn't play Zelda .... sent it in and got it fixed up.
Nintendo will still repair it out of warranty, only you'll have to pay.
I have no idea how much it would cost.
They're very good with their service and you can talk on the phone with someone easily. Just call them and explain and they may have a fix without sending it in. If not, they'll tell you your options.
This may help

We did this for awhile... eventually our Wii started acting intermittently weird, not loading up some games sometimes, freezing in the middle of games, etc. Turns out it was overheating because the cooling fan shuts off when it's in WiiConnect24/Standby mode, even though it's still running some things. Since we've turned off WiiConnect24 we've never had those problems again.
would help you but now you can go to hell.
