In all the years I've been using PICs I've NEVER had one get even slightly warm.
They usually only pull a few 10's of mA's max, but I suppose if you had all the IO pins trying to drive too much...

not trying to 'rain on your parade'..... it is possible that isn't where your noise is coming from...... if you haven't already, put a 10 or 100 microfarad electrolytical and a couple of .1 or .01...
if you didn't already........ put your probe lead on 'ground/negative' at a distance from the negative/ground probe connection..... and probe to various ground/neg locations. Sometimes noise is...
Here is an example of a neat little solar panel tracker that I built for a NiMh battery charger. I decided to build it for a variety of reasons - - -
