Hello,

So here is my problem. After some time, my kernel_task takes 25% or more of my CPU. And I really don't know why, sometimes I'm not even at my PC when it happens! It's really weird!

I read a lot about this or related problems, but none of the solutions helped me.

Maybe somebody have the right advice for me.

my system: Core2Duo E6750 (2.66 auf 2.8 GHz), Asus P5N32-E - nforce 680i, Geforce 8800 GT | iDeneb 1.3, VoodooXNU 9.5

Thanks in advanced

Anybody??

Problem is not fixed yet :-(

this fixed my issue:

"...

Fire up Terminal and execute the following commands (enter administrator password when asked):

sudo launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
sudo rm /var/log/asl.db
sudo launchctl start com.apple.syslogd

What do these commands do? First of all, we stop the syslogd process. The second line removes a database file which causes the whole dilemma (don’t worry, it’ll be re-created afterwards), the third line starts the previously stopped process again.

Now reboot your Mac and everything should be fine!

first of all, thanks for your reply! But unfortunally this isn't work for me :-(

It is the kernel_task which increases the cpu...
