MBP overheating and I have to restart multiple times a day
Hi,
My MBP is overheating, slowing to a crawl, and I have to restart multiple times a day (which may or may not help the issue).
Machine is:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2.4 GHz, Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Not expandable RAM (which is beyond me why they would make a machine non-expandable. I found out after I bought it).
During the day I'm running:
Mail app (with a very full inbox -- could this be a contributing factor? I can archive the saved emails)
Safari (with various tabs open, sometimes many sometimes just a few)
Messages
Evernote
Chrome (with various tabs open, sometimes many sometimes just a few)
... and occasionally, but not always:
Preview
Numbers
I'm not gaming. I'm not streaming video. After a few hours of use, many times a day (often 2-4 times just in an afternoon) the machine slows to a crawl and I restart, which may or may not solve the speed and heat issue.
I've run the utility Activity Monitor, and there are applications I don't recognize sometimes using 11 - 18% CPU (bird and soangent). Anyone know what these are?
Thanks for any ideas. I bought this MBP last June. It was from the refurb outlet, where I've gotten all of my Macs over the past 10 years or so. This is the worst of them yet.
Thanks.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
