It's possible that you have a hardware failure.
If you have the receipt and it hasnt been 30 days you should consider taking it back

it's possible it's doing updates in the background

Hi just what do you expect a cpu to work at in such a small area.
yes they run close to the boiling point of water due to being in such a small case. at the sort of frequencies needed to produce the results of gaming etc.
so this is normal knowledge of the subject is it would keep on working up to about 1200 degrees c before the core melted.
so this is another issue as a laptop was never designed for 3-4 hours working. just 1hour as a hot desk device. for business use only.
