How about....
Hi Fredrick,
The LM317 package would be rated at 1.5A with a very good heat-sink and the correct input voltage, to avoid, dropping too much voltage and heating itself.

With no heat sink, 15 V input 5 V output, the 317 could overheat with just over 200 mA at 25 C.

How much current does the OLED LCD display draw?
Is the voltage regulator getting hot (to your touch)?
Can you “oscilloscope” the +5V supply? Watch for the voltage to dropout.

Ohm it's not just a good idea... it's the LAW !
