Move the 7805 to the back of the PCB.
Add 47 Ohm and a bypass cap to the front of the
regulator.
I have done this on my RaduinoX PCB, as well as
Bolting the regulator to a ground heat sink with a 6-32 screw in
nut.
No heat problem after that.? No need for another
regulator.
This should have been done originally.
Here is a picture of RaduinoX.? Many problems
Fixed.? USB on the other side.? More connectors.

My approach is to
add a 7808 regulator at the power input, so the voltage drop is in
two stages.? This would feed only the "12V" input to the main
circuit.? The "PA12"
would still be fed from the power supply input.
