The temp of the CPU can get that high under intensive calculations.  The 
shutdown feature of MB Bioses is there to keep the CPU from frying.  A 
normal temp is more like 40°C

If your temperature climbs to well over say, 50°C on a regular basis, 
then you need to investigate why.  It could be as simple as poorly 
applied heat sink compound or it the fan might not work very well.
