CPU Overheating problems

Ok I have had this computer for a couple of months now and still can't figure out why this happens. The CPU seems to be running a little to hot when I put a load on it like Half-Life 2 or any other CPU intense activities. It gets so hot that it forces a shut down. Im packing a boxed Intel P4 HT 3.6 GHz. With no load on the CPU it seems to run about 58-62 degrees cels. With a load it can get as hot as 90 degrees before it kills over. Does any one have any ideas or suggestions. I have tryed placing a couple more fans in the case and that seems to not be helping it much.
