    I doubt its your fault.
    Call Toshiba in as soon as you can. They will tell you what to do. You will probably have to send it in.
    It looks like your CPU is overheating for some reason.

    Ya, if you aren't even doing anything and it reaches 90C, its not normal.
    Not even normal if you are using nero to reach 90C, unless its running for a long time.
