thats WAY hotter than your system should be getting.
I'd open it up and make sure the CPU heatsink isn't full of cathair or something.
I do need to open it, but then I have to shut it down ;)
The last time it did this (a week ago), I shot all the vents with air, and a lot of dust came out the other vents. So I should open 'er up.
make sure the airvents aren't blocked when you're using it, too, and that the fan is working.
Oh, I can hear the fan running. Off, slow, fast, off...
