Something isn't right. My macbook pro 4,1 regularly hits 140*F and if I push it I can hit 160. It's the GPU that pumps the heat up.
Go to the event viewer under administrative tools in the control panel and paste in the error message.
I also run a fan control application that runs my fans at the max speed. For whatever reason Apple wanted a quiet laptop instead of a comfortable to use one.
But get us the error message first. You may have some bad fans. Compressed air in a can is an easy way to dust out computers. Just spray it lightly back and forth to avoid condensation from hitting the components.
