Q: Why is my MacAir overheating that it doesn't switch on?

When switching the MacAir on, I get a blank screen and nothing but a whirr of the fan - so much so that it overheats to the extent that it's burning hot. I can't switch it off either, so need to let the battery run down flat before it switches itself off - only bought this in February and not a happy bunny!!

MacBook Air, iOS 8.4
