Any special precautions I should be taking right now?

Get it off the table or something so it can cool down...I suggest turning it off as well.

Put it in the freezer.

Don't use your laptop like a desktop computer. -.-

Just let it cool off.
My old one did that a lot before.
Try taking it apart to clean out the dust with one of those pressurized air things.

Get a cooling pad if it is consistent.  

DO not leave it on soft insulating surfaces.  Mine is fine with it though, I love Atom processors and not causing lots of heat.
