My CPU is overheating

Today when I was burning a dvd, my cpu temperature went up to 87 degrees, which I think is a bit high and I noticed it by a red light flashing on my motherboard. What should I do to stop the temperatures from getting so high? I haven't noticed the temperatures getting this high before.

yeah try clearing the dust, and if that doesn't help it have a look at aftermarket coolers

Ya try clean the cpu cooler. Btw what cpu and fan do you use?
