I have a computer that has been overheating really bad. It's been having the CPU go to almost 90C!

It sounds the alarm siren that it's overheating, but I've never had this problem before. I moved about 3 months ago, and that's when the problems began. I have added another fan, and a HDD fan in order to help, but neither has done anything.

I have not changed, nor modified anything since the move, what could be the problem?

The Computer is a:

Intel P4 3.0GHz
1 GB DDR RAM
HD1: 500 GB HD
HD2: 200 GB HD
DVD+/-RW
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 256MB

Present Computer Temps (For the most part Idle, and temps from MBM) are:
Case: 40C
CPU 88C (Ranges from about 74-90C)

From SpeedFan:
HDD: 49C
Misc: 50C
