My VivoBook 14 reaches 100°C when charging

I'm having ASUS VivoBook 14 X412FJ with Windows 10 64-bit.
When I plug in the charger, even without any starting any application, it reaches around 100°C. I read in ASUS FAQ that updating BIOS might help. I had BIOS version 302 earlier, I checked for the latest version and it was 305, installed it but then my laptop would constantly go in deadlock, I remember it ran into deadlock for 4 times in half an hour immediately after updating the BIOS. So I'm on 304 now, at least now my laptop is functioning as it is supposed to, but I cannot use it while it charging! Also, when it's not charging now, I'm just using Firefox, its Core temp is showing around 50°C.
Its been just 3.5months since I've bought it! Please help!

Hello,
It seems there was some malware which was causing the abnormally high temperatures. Now CPU temperatures are between 45-55C while not charging. I wish to open the back panel of laptop and check for dust. Does that void the warranty?

Hello swarajrajpure,
Yes, dismantling the device yourself will break the warranty.
Please kindly send your device to service center if needed.
Thank you.
