You have a GPU issue.


Chrome could be suspect—


I would trouble shoot further you can:


Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test will take a little longer as caches get rebuilt.

This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.


Test issue in another user (or guest user) account  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

I'm kind of inexperienced at troubleshooting, so hopefully someone knowledgeable responds, but I'm wondering what is causing your high CPU usage as reported under Major Issues.


Run Activity Monitor (it should be under Other), and click on % CPU to get a listing of the processes running in order of high CPU usage. What processes are using a lot of CPU? How much of the CPU is the process using?
