Q: Kernel Task is using CPU and slowing down MacBook massivly

Thanks Lex!

Cheers

Godwin

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Arthur/Lex,

I read the very beginning of this thread then scrolled to the end to post my EtreCheck info. If you haven't totally abandoned this thread yet would you mind taking a look at my report? I'm having the same problem as everyone else. Nearly constant fan running, high kernel_task on Activity Monitor. Funny thing is, my problem wasn't sudden, it's been slowly building over time. I've run Disk Utility and Apple Hardware Test. After I post this I'll do a safe reboot and read all the posts in this thread and see if I can learn something until I hear back.

(FYI, I'm not very tech savvy. i.e. going into Terminal or reinstalling the system is something I've never done. Is it possible to find the individual offenders and just throw them away?)

Thanks for any help. Susan

Same issue as most who are posting on this thread.  Was thinking I need a new computer but since many of the users have new ones, it doesn't seem to be the problem.  I've taken my laptop in to the Genius Bar numerous times for this issue but no one seems to be able to resolve it.  I loaded more memory when advised to do so but that seemed to have no positive affect.  The fan runs CONSTANTLY!  Please advise.  I'm not sure what other info is needed than what's posted below:

My God,

I can't believe that I am going through this again.  Everytime I get suckered into installing an OS upgrade, my computer slows to a crawl.  It's taking about an hour just to post here.  I have to use memory clean incessantly to free RAM up to do anything.  Please help. Anyone.  Here's my etre report:

I have had this macbook for a few years but never have I had a problem with it running as slow as it is now. I hope it's okay to post here my EtreCheck results as well. Thanks in advance.

This thread is already too long, start a new one. Post the list here.

There is a lot to do. A new thread attracts more helpers.

Lex

I'd like to try this and got as far as finding the IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext but when I click on it nothing happens, or should I say that I can't go further because a pop up tells me there's no application or program to open this file.

Mike

This kext is a system core element. Be very careful and know what you do. When you go inside and come to the bundle icon, you do not 'open', but 'show content'  and then you can go deeper.

Lex

Hi,

It is the same thing for me after upgrading to Mavericks.

I got 8 Go RAM for a MB 7.1.

So I tried lots of tricks as this one to fix the issue :

http://goo.gl/pykv6O

... and nothing happened

... and I can see that many Mac Users have the same issue : Hey Apple ! It is a kind of planned obsolescence?

How can we fix the Kernel Task Issue without 1) creating a new profil / account 2) re-install OS Mountain? => It is the real challenge...

BR

HR

Instead of posting your pointless rant, maybe you'd like to describe any issue you are having.

You right

As I said, after upgrading my OS to Mavericks, I got issues with Kernel Task using lots of CPU and RAM

Henri, I am sure that Stedman meant you to start a new thread with your problems.

They are different, and this thread is already long enough.

Hello good people! Please, help me to solve my problem with kernel (I hope, that with kernel).

So, the main problem is that after I found kernel_task in my activity monitor my battery life fell down for 1.5-2 times. And kernel_task takes 600-700 MB of my RAM (for video engineer it's to much).

I don't know, maybe it's not kernel_task reason to decrease battery life (if you can also hep with this - i will be appreciate so much)
