First of all try a new USB cable. A USB cable should not be getting hot.
If the cable is physically getting hot it would be because the device that the cable is connected to is drawing too much current. This shouldn't happen with USB since a USB port max output is only +5v and .5A. If the current draw is exceeding the +5v .5A max, the power supply should be shutting off the +5v rail, and the machine should stop operating until the power supply is reset.
