Take it back. It sounds to me as if the heat pipe has failed (a complicated heat transfer device). I had the same problem with my HP. I can now only use it with an external fan pad type thing which you shouldn't have to do on a new laptop. Mine is 3+ years old.

Downloading Speedfan (google it) will show what the main core temps are. Running a youtube video with plenty of active video will show your video chip cooking.
