again, what are you trying to drive with the RPi ?  if the CPU is
overheating, you can try a heat sink, but 1.5A for an RPi is excessive
[your other loads are drawing too much current in other words].

If you have USB peripherals plugged into the RPi, try unplugging them.
That might be your problem.
