WiiU system freezes with loud whine noise

I've had the Wii U since launch last year. In that time it has frozen on me with the loud, whining noise, that can only be remedied by a hard unplug reset, in the following games: Just Dance 4 (Wii edition), ZombiU, and now Call of Duty Black Ops2. As I'm approaching the one year warranty limit, I'll be calling this in for warranty repair or replacement, because it worries me that a permanent failure is coming at some point.

 

I've seen some posts about changing the language settings in the Miiverse to English only, but when it has frozen on me, there has been no Miiverse involved.

 

I've played hundreds of hours of Black Ops 2 without issue, but tonight I finally started the single player campaign. About 15 minutes into it is when the system crashed. Anyone else experience this?

 

I guess this is the early-adopter curse. My Wii was replaced by Nintendo within the first few weeks and that was also a launch model. Still beats my PS3 - I'm on my 4th one!
