Please attempt to capture a screenshot of Activity Monitor when it exhibits that behavior, and post it in a reply.


To learn how to capture, edit (if needed), and post a screenshot to this site please refer to the Appendix in Writing an effective Apple Support Communities Question - Apple Community.


Until then you may find the following Apple Support document applicable: If kernel_task is using a large percentage of your Mac CPU.
