Macbook pro fan running fast and high cpu usage

The fan has started running all the time the error code is 4SNS/40000000 VPOR-19.763

Hey emilyiow,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your MacBook Pro in relation to the fans. Sometimes, this symptom can indicate that the SMC needs to be reset. For more information and instructions on how to do so, check out this resource:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht3964
After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset could be necessary.
Fans
- The computer's fans run at high speed although the computer is not experiencing heavy usage and is properly ventilated.
Additional information:

What to do if you get an error in AHT
Confirm that the power adapter is connected if you're using a Mac notebook.
Confirm that all external devices are disconnected from your computer.
Record any error code given so that you can give the information to a Mac Genius, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or Apple Technical Support Specialist.
Thanks,

  • Macbook Pro fan running constantly and CPU running slow

    So, I have a Macbook Pro 2010 2.3 i7 that has started running really slow and the fan is running constantly.
    In activity monitor it shows a kernel_task running constantly at around or above 200%.
    I have tried all the regular tasks.  PRam reset, SMC reset and nothing seems to fix it.
    I have also tried a system reinstall to no avail.
    Maybe I'm on the wrong track, but from what I have read, the kernel_task might be trying to slow my CPU down because it thinks it is being overworked?
    Maybe the fans are also being activated because it thinks the computer is too hot?
    Anyway, if anyone has any idea as to what I can do to figure out what is going on, let me know.  Thanks

  • MacBook Pro Fans Running Fast

    My mom's 2007 17" MacBook Pro keeps running its fans. Both fans run at 3400RPM minimum when it is awake. There is no fan-controlling utility installed. Is it normal for them to be running that fast? Also, the temperature (147˚F) seems a bit high.

    Yeah, only running Mail and stuff. Actually, 3500RPM is my iMac's maximum fan speed.
    I'll try the SMC reset.

  • MacBook Pro Fan running fast after Mavericks update

    Hello All! I have a 2009 MacBook Pro 13 inch and I have noticed that after I updated to Mavericks my fan has been running really fast and my computer getting warmer than normal. It's always on a table so there is nothing blocking the port in the rear. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Acrobat Pro 8 slow scrolling and high CPU usage

    Hi Folks,
    Occassionally, when I scroll a document in Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro, the scrolling will happen very slowly, and Acrobat.exe will chew up 100% of my cpu, until the scrolling has completed. I'm not up to my limit of memory (1.18 GB used, 1.5 GB available). I'm on XP Pro SP2 on a thinkpad t43 with a 2GHz CPU. Any ideas?
    thanks,
    allie

    thanks john - good idea, but doesn't turn up much of value. I think the document with which I most recently noticed this issue was an academic paper, with not many graphics, except that I think it was scanned. Thus, it was alot of image data. Dunno - perhaps I'm hitting a limit in my video card or something. (ATI Mobile X300 with 128 MB).

  • My MacBook Pro fan runs while sleeping

    My MacBook Pro fan runs constantly, even while sleeping.
    The problem started about 2-3 months ago, but was pretty rare. When I noticed the problem, I would restart the computer and it would stop for 1-2 weeks. More recently it has become more constant, and now it always has the fan running when it's sleeping.
    Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks!

    Mine too. If you're worried you might like to try a laptop cooler like one of these:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_kk_2?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Alaptop+cooling+pad&keywor ds=laptop+cooling+pad&ie=UTF8&qid=1344763538
    Not sure how well they'd work on a Macbook as there aren't any vents on the underside but it couldn't hurt and they're quite cheep.

    Back up your Mac if you have not done so already. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
    Uninstall MacKeeper:
    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 required more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
    If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
    If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

  • MacBook Pro is running slow and All applications getting not responding..

    MacBook Pro is running slow and All applications getting not responding after every 30 seconds. I have tested by hardware test  nothing wrong with hardware. I am worried Because I am totally stuck with my macbook pro Help me Please !!! I have tested by creating guest account and also new account as administrator. same thing happened. apps running. I opened activity monitor and watched carefully when any app stucked, In activity monitor there is in front of ap name following text appeared : (Not Responding) in red color. 129GB free memory, 4 GB RAM Core i3 MacBook Pro 13 inch.
    Instant help needed..
    Thanks in ADVANCE !!!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • XServe fans running fast and loud

    Good morning
    I have searched the information base and tried a few suggestions without success.  Hoping for another solution here.
    I have an Intel based XServe (2008) (OS 10.6.8) whose fans are running faster (and therefore louder) than they have previously.  This follows on the heels of a power outage (two of them actually) here at school, though the server is behind a UPS.  The system identifier light is also blinking in a particular pattern - 4 flashes and a pause repeating.
    The server is up and running, teachers are connecting to it just fine, the RAID is intact and online, the drives all look good according to Disk Utility.  So, functionally, everything looks OK - the fans are just running faster and louder than before - noticibly louder than the other Intel XServe in the rack.  The server is at the top of the enclosed rack with a space below it as it has been for the last 4 years.
    This summer I took all the XServes out of the rack, opened them up, and blew the dust out of them (including a moth - truly a bug in the system), so the all the airways are clean and clear.
    I have tried the suggestions I could find on this forum:
         restarted a bunch of times
         shut down and disconnect everything (including power) for a period of time
         reset the PMU/SMC or whatever it is called doing the front panel buttons with the blue lights on the lower row
         reset the PMU/SMC or whatever it is called by holding down the power button while disconnected from power
    I have installed iStat Pro and the temperatures are averaging around mid- to upper- 30°C and the fans are running around 3000 RPM .  The temperatures aren't signifcantly different that the other XServe, but the fans are running about twice the speed.
    I had to reformat the RAID earlier this weekend and copy over the data files from backup and reassign permissions, but the server was running quietly after that was all finished.  It seems to be post-powerbump that the fans became noisy.
    Sorry for the long post, but I tried to include all the pertinent information.  I would have tossed in photos and videos if I could have!
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    TIA
    Greg

    Did a little more searching about setting up LOM on the XServe and I think I have it figured out now.
    I assigned a unique (different) IP address to Network 1 in the LOM dialogue box in Configure Server menu of Server Monitor since I only have Ethernet 1 enabled and linked to a switch using a unique (different) IP address for network traffic between the XServe and my clients.
    I can now see (via Server Monitor remotely) that I have a dead blower in my fan array which, upon closer inspection, is also evident in the iStatPro display (one fan running at 18 RPM).  Hence the blinking system identifier light and the other fans running faster and harder (and noisier).
    Oddly enough, I have a replacement fan array in a box of XServe spare parts.  I now have a weekend task.
    Thanks for all the information to be found and the people participating in this forum.  Love it.
    Greg

  • MacBook Pro started running slow and freezing up

    Hi,
    What are some things I can do when my MacBook Pro starts running slow and freezing up?  For example, windows are slow to open, and that pinwheel thing keeps spinning.  Clean up tips would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    tamyc,
    You can try resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller;
    You can try booting into Safe mode, to see whether it runs just as slowly (and freezes up) then;
    You can try disabling your antivirus software, to see if that makes a difference;
    You can download, install, and run EtreCheck, and include in your reply the output from an EtreCheck run, which might help identify software which should be uninstalled or updated.

  • Macbook pro 10.7.5 fan running fast and hot

    Recently (past 2 weeks) my macbook pro (just over 1 yr old) 10.7.5 fan has been running fast and hot. It begins after uploading photo's into iPhoto '11. Sometimes it takes 30 minutes for it to cool down and run at normal speed. Uploads are usually 50 to 200 images. I verified the Activity Monitor CPU % and nothing exceeds 12%.
    I did a restart twice this week which seems to be a temporary solution. Any tips to resolve this is appreciated.
    Happens when running iPhoto is only app open.

    When you were checking Activity Monitor, did you select "All Processes" from the drop down list at the top

  • Macbook Pro Fans Running At High Speed

    My MBP 17" CoreDuo 2.16ghz came back from having the Logic Board replaced at the weekend. All is well except that now the fans run at high speed all the time.
    I have installed SMCFanControl, and the current readings are 45 / 113 degrees and the fans are running at 5500 rpm. I took the machine back to the Apple store but when I was there the fans didn't go above 3000rpm (typical huh?). It's nice that the case is now a lot cooler than it used to be but the fans seem very loud to me.
    The question is, is this normal? I am not running anything very heavy duty at the moment. Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Matt

    I tend to agree with Ned on SMC fan control (that it arguably causes more problems than it solves).
    I had a similar problem with mine recently having the fans run constantly and at full speed. My temperatures never approached yours, but it would fail to go to sleep etc.
    I would start with the advice Ned gave you. This is the same path Apple Care led me down in trying to resolve the issue.
    Ultimately though I had to do an archival install of the operating system. It is non-destructive so it wasn't a big deal. I just had to slowly re-install patches and observe behavior. Oddly I was able to patch back up to 10.4.9 without the issue re-occuring so the root cause is still a mystery to me.
    edit
    Patch gone bad maybe? I tried re-applying the 10.4.9 combo before attempting the archival install route with no success. I know that has been suggested many times. Apparenty it solves many issues, but it failed to solve mine.

  • Mainstage 2.1 makes my Macbook Pro fans run full bore.

    Upgraded to V. 2.1 and Snow Leopard. Now my Macbook Pro fan kicks in at full blast whenever I play any patches or run backing tracks. Cpu hit looks low and memory usage is average. This never happened before. Any ideas as to what's happening?

    My MBP fans have always run at full capacity when using MS 1, 2 or 2.1. They start out running normally but then start to rev up after a couple of minutes. You could try running some fan control software to manually adjust your fan thresholds but ultimately, does it really matter if the fans are running hard? Seems to me that they're running hard because they need to....MS is still very hard on system resources even if the meters say otherwise. It's the only app I run that causes the fans to run flat-out.
