Lately my homebrew channel will hang on the loading circle & not be usable or straight up crash and give a "DSI Exception Occured" black screen, whenever I load into the channel, or if it does happen to load properly, after I exit seemingly any app. So far this only has been happening while a USB is plugged into either (or both) ports. These are all (3) USB devices I have been using on this Wii for at least a year, all FAT32. Two of them just thumb drives with roms, video files, and a few apps, the other a 500GB external hard drive for Wii & GC games only. I keep and load most of my apps off a 16GB SD card, which has also given me no trouble prior. I've also not added any new apps (save for updates) in the past year.
The only other thing I can think of, is that this all started happening after cleaning off my Wii, which I do every few months. I'll wet a cloth, wring it out until there are no drops (so the cloth is just barely damp) wipe off the dust, wipe the console with a dry cloth, use a hand vacuum on all the ports and vents, then one last dry wipe. This is a process I've been repeating for years and I do my best to make sure no moisture gets in the console. But that's the only thing I can think may be causing the issue. I've also included a SYSCHECK text document (site wouldn't let me upload the format the app spits out).
