Welcome to the HP User Community.

The battery might be failing.

This can be a likely cause of sudden and intense heat of this type - the battery is located in that area under the touchpad.

What else?

The CPU could be dirty / dusty - less likely but possible - blow out the dirt and dust.

Switch off the computer - unplug it - don't place a computer on a wood or vulnerable surface.

If the computer remains hot after it is shut off and unplugged -

Move the computer to a safe location outside and away from your house / office / garage

Have the computer checked by a competent technician.

Want to check the inside of the computer for yourself?
