Q: kernel_task using 100% CPU

Hey guys,

my Macbook Air 2013 is two month old, and ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, kernel_task will sometimes eat up to 100% of my CPU. The system will remain usable, but battery life goes down significantly. A reboot will solve this issue for a time, so will quitting all applications in the menu bar, but some time later kernel_task will return in full force.

Things I did and checked:

  • no faulty sensor
  • hardware check
  • no overheating
  • no app seems to be directly responsible
  • SMC and NVRAM/PRAM reset
  • repaired disk permissions and repaired SSD through the recovery partition
  • not yet reinstalled Mavericks
  • no issues in safe mode, at least yet

 

I suspect that this is caused by some kernel extension, but I have no idea which one and how to fix that.

I have in the past installed: some fishy USB to Ethernet driver, BOOM (system wide equilizer), LaTEX and probably more things.

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Applications
A:

Your system is very heavily modified. I suggest you start by uninstalling "Boom."

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.

Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.

I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.

Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.

Back up all data before making any changes. You generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.

If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.

You may be advised by others to try to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name, or by running "utilities" that purport to remove software. I don't give such advice. Those tactics often will not work and may  make the problem worse.

    Seems to be related with AppleHDA Audio Codecs (old ones from OS10.8 work), that's why when you guys unplug the headphones the CPU level cames to normal levels. This problem is still not solved.

     

    I've been chating with some Apple amployees about it and they say it's a Maverick's problem. I've said them that so many people is having this problem in Apple's official forums and they reccommend me to say you guys to open a "Feedback Bug Report" in Apple's website: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

     

    They told me that in the forums where you guys explain this issue, they don't read it them all, and the worst of all, apple enginyeers don't read them. So, i reccommend you to open a Bug Report in order to let them know about this problem and giving them enough information to solve it.

     

    Thanks

    It turns out that this happens when your headphones are plugged in, then you put you MacBook into sleep then wake it up while your headphones are plugged in -- the result is kernel_task goes 100% CPU. To fix this just unplug your headphones and wait for about 10 secounds to make kernel_task come down.

    Library/ScriptingAdditions:

     

    Library/Services:

    ToastIt.service

    iClipboardService.bundle

     

     

     

    step 5

     

    iTunesHelper, Snagit, Alfred 2, TransmitMenu, Fantastical, DockView, Livescribe AutoLaunch, Livescribe Connect AutoLaunch, KiesAgent, fuspredownloader

     

     

    So my question is, the details in step 1, are these the ones taking up the most amount of RAM/CPU?

     

    Thanks

    Greetings,

    Within the past week CPU usage has been going through the roof, Kernal task at 403.mb. The other day my system shut down 16 times. I am only using 32gb HD space & have 4 gb RAM.  I am contemplating going back to Snow leopard until the kinks are worked out of Mavericks. I initially thought it was because of Mavericks (still not convinced otherwise) but happy I stumbled upon this discussion. Whatever imput is appreciated.

    1-  Go to About This Mac

    2- click on More Info

    3- click on system report

    4- save the model

    example : Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,1

    5- go to Go in the toolbar

    6-click on Go To Folder

    7-copy this line and paste it /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SM C_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/

    8- find the model that you got it from step 4

    9- copy and paste it on the desktop then delete from the folder

    10- restart your mac

    11- check now the acitivty monitor

    I am having the same problem with kernel_task using my CPU & memory under Mavericks and my computer hanging constantly.  I have tried isolating it to one of the programs I use most - Chrome, iTunes, Mail or Microsoft word for mac - but it happens even when only one of these programs is open and it doesn't seem to matter which one. I took the liberty of following the steps outlined above in the hopes someone can help me with this. Thanks.
