[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1394052, member: 71075"] kernel_task is a "representation" of the kernel which is responsible for low level operation of the OS. As such, it's not the kernel per se that is causing issues but something that is continually making system calls to it. A quick search suggests that NAS software is notorious for causing this. I'd suggest that you reinstall the software and uninstall it using the prescribed steps (you seemed to suggest that you did this manually). [/QUOTE]
