Depends how you have been using it. Check that the fan operates whilst powered up and feel for air being expelled from the grill around the rear or side of the laptop. If you have been using your laptop in bed or on the bed then it is likely the air vents could have been clogged with dust which would cause the overheating. This is something that should be investigated urgently to avoid the failiure of your motherboard. It is still worth contacting the retailer for advice whilst under warranty.
