Hi everyone.
Recently my MacBook is overheating and the battery goes down very fast.
Macbook was turned on and that's it. No application was opened, only finder was opened.
When I checked the energy consumption it showed me that Finder was taking 92.8% energy.
I will put the ss below. If someone know what's going on- let me know what should I do or how can I fix that.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
I now use my mom's MacBook Pro and there are no problems. Though there were many things that were already wrong with the 2015 macbook, such as stuck keys, dying at 13%, and the screen would get short circuts and have the contrast go up. That computer was no longer usable and we got rid of it anyway. Thanks for the tip, though!
I asked cause it never happened before. Sometimes the temperature goes up but never like this.
Im checking if there is any virus on Mac I will also restart the Mac for Finder problem.
Thanks for replying me
No problem. If you have downloaded a software recently, you should remember this:
An icon pops up. It says:
'(file)' is a file downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
On the bottom, in smaller text, it should say that Apple checked it for malicious content. If it says none was detected, it isn't a virus. If you don't recall it saying there was no viruses, there is a pretty good chance you have a virus. Stay safe if it is one, and even if it's not.
I used to own a 2015 MacBook. It had no AC. It always overheated. Just put a damp towel/paper towel under your Mac to help cool it down, and for the Finder thing, try restarting your Mac.
If you have to resort to putting a damp towel under the computer there is something wrong and your computer needs to be evaluated at an autorized service center.
How are you checking if there is a virus on your Mac? I am almost certain there is no virus on your Mac.
too high energy consumption
