    88 for CPU is quite high. Is your fan running properly? Have you cleaned up the heatsink recently? You may also try replacing the thermal grease...

    52 HD?

    Do you have a spare drive handy (like, yesterday?). This is too high - most HD can handle 55 before they shut down - some Seagates can handle 60 - but all will be giving you errors and reliabilty problems at anything over 50 celsius.

    Take the computer apart as much as you can and blow out the dust.

    You may even need to reapply the thermal paste on the CPU to bring the temps closer to the norm for that netbook.

    Good luck.
