Yeah, this is clearly the CPU.

It is rumored it happens because of Wii connect 24. If you let the console working in 24 mode and don´t play for a long while it can overheat.

So, if you don´t need to be connected better turn it of in the night...

People keep saying this, but I want to be absolutely clear: There is ZERO EVIDENCE that WiiConnect24 "causes" this problem, and there is no good argument for it either. The sparkly colored dots are caused by graphics memory errors. Some Wiis have defective graphics memory, most don't. It's that simple.

erm, there is evidence. Leave your Wii on standby connection. The fan turns off. After a while, touch the console. It's toasty warm. Toasty warm console + no air flow = overheating.

It's not solid proof, but it's evidence ;) and it's the most likely cause.
