Q: kernel_task 800% cpu usage after 10.10.3 update
Basically my question people is as the title explains
After installing 10.10.3 my laptop is grinding to a halt and freezing
It turns out to be kernel_task is using 800% cpu usage
Does anyone else have this issue or maybe a resolution to fix it?

Hi All,
this is an update on this issue, 3 days have gone by so far and my laptop hasnt crashed or high cpu usage once!
My fix you may ask? I re-installed OSX
i didnt reformat my laptop and start a-fresh tho!
I just simply went into recovery mode then clicked Re-installed OSX and let it get on with it
I didnt lose any data or software, just a fresh install of osx files
so my only thing i can think of is the is something wrong with my OSX files ?
im just glad it hasnt crashed yet so far
Im going to reply back in a few more days and update on how its going
