Had the same problem before, and it's not a thermal paste problem  
because I tried to change it : same result : my computer shutdown  
when reached 93° (rip a movie or this kind of job) : perhaps it's  
because a new bios, the only way I found for resolve this problem is  
to undervolting the cpu (kernel patch). And now never go over 65/70°  
under heavy charge.
