RE: Laptop is heating up VERY quickly
First check if there is any process causing constant CPU strain...
Check your Task Manager. If everything shows as 0% CPU most of the time (except for "System Idle Process" of course, that should be 99% or 100% most of the time) when you're doing nothing on the PC, then follow the above suggestions.
If not and there is something which is constantly putting strain on the CPU, find out what that process belongs to and take action accordingly (eg: kill that process, uninstall the app, etc) and see if it makes a difference.
Even a laptop cooling stand wouldn't fix such high temps if it is that bad after just 10 minutes like you say it is. Such a cooling mat or stand is just a workaround, something to disguise a big problem, it's not a fix. If your laptop heats up like that it means something is really not good inside (eg: blockage of airflow, loose heatsink, etc).
