Kernel Task, 100%CPU, Fans high, machine hot, software issue. How do I track down cause?

Hi,

I have a 17 inch i7 MBP. About two months ago I installed a new hybrid drive and restored from original (sick) drive. Soon afterward my CPU usage started spiking because of a kernel task. It slows my machine to a crawl, overheats and the fans go out of control. It is pretty much unusable. It is a software issue because I made a new user and none of the problems could be duplicated on it. How can I figure out what software on my main user is responsible for the task and what kext or other files are responsible for it? How can I get more info on this kernel task being run? It's got to be in my user folder...


PS: I had Webroot security on the machine and the unusual uninstall process may have had errors. It can't be run again. I attempted to uninstall it around the same time I changed the drive.

OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Does that sound like a solid plan?

No. You could be screwing around for weeks that way and only make things worse.

Can you add to or improve my plan?

I've told you what I think you should do. If you want to remove system modifications piecemeal, the only way to do it is to follow the developers' instructions. Hunting for files to delete will not work.

Linc,

Please keep in mind, In most cases I'd recommend the same. I am a tech (mostly audio) and I am trying to learn more about this side of things.

I ordered another drive to create a fresh work drive but I really love this stuff and I like to act as if I cannot start over for the learning experience. You gave me great advice for a normal user. Thank you for that. I flirt with danger often (instal anything I'm curious about) just to learn how to fix the ensuing problem. This issue stumped me so I'm reaching out for some "next level" knowledge to find the problem and correct it.


I am going to try to track down the apps responsible for the extensions and remove them as per the manufacturers recommendations.


Is there any way that you know of that I can see what the kernel task is actually doing? I am incredibly curious about it. I watched console but it was inconclusive so far. I'll have to do it for a longer time.


Thanks for your help!

I am seeing QUITE a bit of this:

5/7/15 10:21:04.122 PM nsurlstoraged[322]: Error: stepSQLStatement:toCompletionWithRetry - stepping returned unhandled result=11, DB=/Users/studiogeek/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db


And a bit of this:

5/7/15 10:21:02.654 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent) The _DirtyJetsamMemoryLimit key is not available on this platform.


I had Spigot and Conduit. I removed them manually and then ran Adware Medic but perhaps there is something left of them.

May 7, 2015 7:57 PM in response to vEiSaLgIa

I'm pretty sure this is my problem:


5/7/15 10:41:52.383 PM nsurlstoraged[322]: Error: stepSQLStatement:toCompletionWithRetry - stepping returned unhandled result=11, DB=/Users/studiogeek/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db


Every time I start Safari I see it constantly. I deleted the cache files and the kernel task CPU is down dramatically (so far). The console has quieted down as well.


Thanks

Hey Linc


I ran most of the test but thought it froze up or something so I ended it early. My fan has been running non-stop now for over two hours (both while awake/asleep, plugged into power and on battery power, with all apps closed and with some open).

Jul 11, 2016 8:49 AM in response to vEiSaLgIa

I appear to be experiencing a similar phenomenon. I ran EtreCheck to the following results and removed recommended files where possible, but was unable to remove the 2nd set of Adobe plist files. The button was grayed out. Also the readout vis a vis TimeMachine not having enough space is also a false flag. My TM backup disk is 3TB, while the incremented total backup is not much over half the drive's capacity. FWIW, I'm also including the EtreCheck report. Thanks in advance for any advice and help!


All best, David
