Overheating power regulator?

I'm not sure if it's supposed to get this way, but the power regulator on the back of the MPGuino is getting very hot, too hot to touch. And it shut off without provocation, then booted up a few moments later like it had just been plugged in.

Is it supposed to be getting that hot? I'm going to try putting a couple of mosfet heatsinks on there that I have sitting around. I'm wondering if I'll need to put a resistor in the power line leading into the MPGuino.
