[QUOTE="nielsvg, post: 1859058, member: 405251"] Hi everyone! In the last couple of weeks I have noticed a major drop in performance of my Macbook while running certain processes. The problem started occurring 7 weeks ago and is becoming a little worse each day. 7 weeks ago everything was still working perfectly and smooth. I am running the following setup: I have two HP Z24N external monitors connected to my macbook Pro with HDMI (both Displays have separate spaces). I use the Mac Magic keyboard and trackpad which are both connected with Bluetooth. Usually, I have an active Skype session 2 hours a day. However, I started noticing the following performance drops in the last 7 weeks: [LIST] [*]7 weeks ago I noticed that my MacBook performance drastically decreases while Skyping with my colleagues [*]5 weeks ago I noticed that the laptop becomes very slow when connected to both external monitors. Therefore, I decided to unplug one of the two monitors. [*]3 weeks ago, doing any other tasks on the laptop while Skyping is near to impossible. The laptop becomes extremely hot, therefore I made the decision to join the Skype session with my IPhone instead. [*]1 week ago, I had to unplug both external monitors. If I connect my MacBook to one of the external monitors for the first three minutes everything is OK. However, after let's say 5 minutes the laptops performance drastically decreases. After about 10 minutes [B]kernal_task(0)[/B] (used to prevent the Macbook from overheating) starts to take up > 100% of the CPU. Meaning that even the simplest task are impossible to do on the Macbook. [/LIST] However, currently I am working on the macbook without Skype and external monitors and everything is (still) working perfectly fine. Could someone give me some insight in what is happening with my laptop? I also created a performance check with the paid EntreCheck application in the AppStore. An important point here is that I made this report without any active Skype sessions and without connecting one of the external monitors, If I would try to do this the MacBook would be too slow to even create the report. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys! [B]Entrecheck report is added as a .PDF file[/B] [/QUOTE]
