Kernel_task eating up my cpu

Hello, i have a mid-2009 MBP 2.26 GHz running lion. I've been having a problem with my kernel_task since about a month. Here's how it looks: User uploaded file
As you can see my kernel_task is eating up my cpu (over 80%) creating a very bad lag.
I've tried everything to fix it and nothing worked(resetting my pram and smc, reinstalling mac osx lion...).
Also, you might wanna note that when i run my MBP in safe mode kernel_task drops to less than 3% and my computer runs smoothly.



Any anwser would be apreciated, thanks 🙂

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

(1) The result show processes running for your account. Unfortunately, I can only be of limited assistance, because I'm not using Lion. At any rate, there's nothing there that wasn't expected. You have three tabs open in Chrome, one using Flash, so I wonder -- did you try restarting and then checking kernel_task before launching Chrome?


(2) Let's try


ps -acx


This should show all processes, not just those running as you. Maybe we can find something there.


(3) Another thing you can try -- just to eliminate some hardware issues -- is to check your hard disk using Disk Utility (verify disk, not verify permissions) and run the Apple Hardware Test.

I don't know if you can use AHT with Lion on your machine, but you should have it on the original install DVD which came with your Mac.

Yes I did try checking kernel_task before lauching google chrome and there is no difference.

I've also thought about downgrading to snow leopard, do you think this would help fix the problem?

There's nothing in the listing that draws my attention (which doesn't mean that one of those processes isn't the issue). But I'm a bit intrigued by these two. Stackshot is a debugging tool, and, AFAIK, it's not running by default (perhaps it is in Lion, I don't know). So what is it doing there? As to com.apple.dock.extra, I've no idea what it is and a quick googling didn't reveal much, except that it might have something to do with Lion.

I've also thought about downgrading to snow leopard, do you think this would help fix the problem?

I've no idea; but, in your place, I'd rather do a clean re-install of Lion. Only if the problem occurred in a fresh, factory-settings install, would I consider downgrading.

Sep 12, 2012 6:43 AM in response to Namir.Mouzannar

Have you checked or noticed any issues with your battery? I have been working on some unibody macbooks and noticed when the battery is not plugged in they kernel task goes crazy just as you say. This is with a fresh install of lion or snow leopard and all updates and no third party software installed. Once the battery was connected it began acting normal again. perhaps a sensor in your battery has failed or you have a thrid party battery installed? Hope this helps you out.

If anyone is still having issues like this, be sure to run Disk utility and verify your boot volume. In many cases, the cause of kernel_task taking up large amounts of CPU time is a corruption of the boot volume.


Booting from another volume, like your OS X install DVD or TechTool eDrive, will allow you to repair the boot volume if it has issues.


After repairing the boot volume you should find that on your next restart your system has again become fast and kernel_task is taking no more than 0.5% of your CPU.


Hope this helps,
