Have you checked to verify that the fans are spinning?

Since it is a new system, I think you should take it back to your HW
distributor and have them run cerberus(ctcs) on it, as Richard Karhuse
wrote.

If it takes a few days for it to get the Kernel Panic, I doubt that is
related to the OS.

Let your HW distributor do the work of troubleshooting and replacing
whatever component(s) are faulty. They can get a CentOS Live CD and
run that on it.
