Troubleshooting Overheating Mac:

A. Use the Activity Monitor:

See what it taking the most out of the CPU. Is it Google Chrome? Or is is something else? To Find Out, use Activity Monitor

1. Go to: Applications
2. Select: Utilities folder
3. Open: Activity Monitor
4. Click: Memory column

B. Update your Mac:

Time Machine Backup:

See if you need to update to the Mose recent non-beta version of the macOS. It may contain a few bug fixes. Important: Prior to the update or reinstallation, Create a Time Machine Backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong, doing the install.

1. Go to: Apple menu
2. Select: About this Mac
3. Click: Software Update... button

C. Reinstall your macOS:

If the above does not work, then consider reinstalling the macOS, backing up first. Why a Reinstall: If you reinstall the macOS, nothing would be deleted. All intended, original files and Apps that came on your macOS would be reinstalled (which include the Bluetooth). It’s all about keeping your system files intact.
