Worst case, buy a small heatsink to mount on the chip

Subject: [Hackrf-dev] DOA HackRF - Overheating power supply chip resetting      
hackrf

After long wait for the availability of HackRF I ordered a one from NooElec and 
received it last week. Unfortunately the unit I received getting restarted ever 
3-5 minutes. With further observations I noticed the power supply chip is 
overheating to a point I can not touch it after 2-3 minutes. This happens with 
Gnuradio as well as with gqrx. Also I verified the firmware and CPLD is upto 
date.  The error message I get is as follows and its not conclusive 
gr-osmosdr v0.1.4-7-g20fd6a8c (0.1.5git) gnuradio 3.7.5.1built-in source types: 
file osmosdr fcd rtl rtl_tcp uhd hackrf bladerf rfspace Using HackRF One with 
firmware 2014.08.1 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOterminate
 called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'  what():  Failed to 
stop RX streaming (-1000) HACKRF_ERROR_LIBUSBAborted (core dumped)
I reached out to NooElec to return this unit since their website states they 
accept "no questions asked returns" for the first 30 days. But apparently for 
the hackrf they have to wait for instruction from the manufacturer and they 
have not responded yet. So in the mean time I want to check if there is anyone 
else experiencing similar problems or any suggestions to try
