MBP is overheating and I have to restart several times per day

Hello

My MBP is overheating, slowing to a crawl, and I have to restart several times a day (which may or may not help the issue).

The machine is:

MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013)

2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

DDR3 4 GB 1600 MHz

No expandable RAM (which is beyond me why they would make a non-expandable machine. I discovered after I bought it).

During the day I am running:

Mail application (with very complete box - this might be a contributing factor? Can I archive the emails registered)

Safari (with different tabs open, sometimes a lot sometimes just)

Messages

EverNote

Chrome (with different tabs open, sometimes a lot sometimes just)

... and from time to time, but not always:

Overview

Numbers of

I'm not game. I'm not streaming video. After a few hours of use, several times a day (often 2-4 times just one afternoon) the machine slows to a crawl and I reboot, which may or may not solve the problem of the speed and the heat.

I ran the activity monitor utility, and there are applications that I do not sometimes recognize using 11 to 18% of CPU (bird and soangent). Anyone know what here?

Thanks for all the ideas. I bought this MBP in June. It was the refurb decision-making, where I got all my Macs over the past ten years. It is the worse of them.

Thank you.

Bird and soagent are the normal processes of Apple. Bird is one of the procedures used with the synchronize documents iCloud. soagent is used in conjunction with the Messages. In normal circumstances or will require an excessive amount of time processor. If you use Messages with a Google or other account not Apple (in other words, not exclusively iCloud) poor performance could be correlated with these accounts.

In any event 11-18% seems a bit much for me. Try to uninstall Evernote as well as all Google products. Or the other could possibly conflict with push social agent and / or document the Apple process synchronization. Google is disinterested or impossible to implement effective OS X apps.

Try to remove all accounts non - Apple Messages, but also completely remove Google from your Mac. You can always reinstall it and Evernote once again after a repair. Your data Google and Evernote is stored on their servers. Back up your Mac in any case, as a precaution.

Mail application (with very complete box - this might be a contributing factor? Can I archive the emails registered)

Perhaps. "Comprehensive" is relative. Some people keep dozens or even hundreds of thousands of e-mail messages. The practical limits of some Mail are, I don't know.

4 GB is perfectly adequate to run El Cap on a MBP of the retina. It would be premature to suspect material deficiencies, but products Google will introduce a new Mac, regardless of its configuration.

Run Apple Hardware Test to confirm that your exhaust fan MBP works normally. Apple Hardware Test is for Macs produced before June 2013. Later Macs use Apple Diagnostics.

  • Lose the connection to Windows 7 computer on a network, have to reboot several times a day to keep XP & Vista connected computers on it.

    I have a Windows 7, with other Vista and XP computers on a network.  I use MSHOME as the doman. I have disabled the firewall, I disabled Ipv6 on Windows 7 computer.  I use no password on the network.  I have to restart my Windows 7 computer several times a day because regularly it will block other computers and network equipment.  I reboot will allow everyone a new access for a couple of hours, then boom, no one can get to me.  Are there reasons that this could happen?

  • AAaargh!  Prefs file have become "corrupt" several times a day.  Help, please.

    I get the following error several times a day... after I have restart Illustrator because it's horrible, buggy, design.  I was putting up with this for 17 years... multiple version.anyway... now I get this error constant

    I see where corrupted fonts can cause this... I so uninstalled my Biststream Font Navigator... and installed Extensis Suitcase Fusion 3 - because, they said, that he discovered the corrupted fonts.  He did discover a unique font, which I deleted.

    We are still getting the error.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Ok... I purchased Fontagent Pro 4.1.   I ran my fonts it... and remove corrupt fonts that we found.  In addition, Fontagent Pro 4.1 is bug, as can be.  STILL, I get the error of AI prefs and have to reset my preferences whenever I start Illustrator.  Adobe should have named this program, 'Aggrivator' instead of 'Illustrator '. ... I have

    So... I returned Fontagent Pro 4.1... and bought Extensis Suitcase Fusion and font doctor 4.

    Ran through my fonts a test of the police doctor and has been invited to move approximately 20 or if "duplicate" fonts... I have dd by following the instructions.

    Just restarted Illustrator after having used it for a day... HAVE PREFS ERROR once again!

    So, I am not convinced that it is a POLICE problem... I think it's a problem of illustrator - not unlike its brands of misuse of memory problems.

    I wish Adobe Illustrator is more stable... but that, in the absence, I'd have other tips or workarounds for this problem.

    I also use CorelDraw on a basis more limited, but curiously, this program rarely gives me difficulties "error".  I use Illustrator for now... so need to get this cleared up.

    Thanks for your help... and thank you for understanding my need to expound on a wee bit.

  • PC Windows Vista stops unexpectedly. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all.

    My Windows Vista PC completely stops unexpectedly and without warning. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all. When I turn it back on, sometimes I have a blue screen that tells me that the PC has experienced an unexpected shutdown and communicate with my local technician. However when turning on, I am always able to return to my office. My anti-virus support told me that it is not related to a virus. Help!

    It is likely some equipment or device driver issue (although we can not entrierly a problem of software).  I need a lot more information on this blue screen - EXACTLY what it says Word for Word with all the codes.  Read the messages and follow the procedures established by the MVP of the spirit in the following thread on the Blue Screen of Death.  They should help you solve your problem. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistahardware/thread/8cd8362e-7d06-46FB-afd7-84d54b6a8ea7  I know it's long but a blue screen problems problem may take some time because there are so many different causes and we must find the right to try to identify the problem and then find a way to fix it.  One of the elements in his post is a method to prevent the system to reboot when a blue screen if you have the time to copy the information.  If the system is not turned off, but the screen does not stay up long, press prtscrn to copy the screen, then when the system boots to open Microsoft Paint, click on the Open box and click Ctrl + V to paste here you have plenty of time to copy the information and post it here so we can look at.  Do not forget to include EVERYTHING - it is unclear what could be of crucial importance.

    I repeat the procedures in the messages of the spirit in the link above - just follow them and answer back here with the results.  Want to make interim reports before the end of the stteps is perfectly OK - in fact, I suggest you do that so I can help guide you and maybe eliminate some of the steps because they will provide no information, that we don't already know (or will not solve the problem because of the information that we already know.

    A question, is your so hot PC anywhere on it that if you hold your hand on it, you will need to detach due to heat?  Overheating is a common cause of this type of problem.  Check that the fan doesn't work and all intake and exhaust ports are clean of dust, lint, or any other obstacle.  If this is a desktop computer, remove the cover and clean the entire interior to remove dust and lint and anything else that doesn't belong.  Make sure you do not loosen or detach the wiring or the accessories cards or RAM chips.  Don't bother if it's a laptop - it's too difficult to get inside to do a proper clean-up - just make sure that the fan is running and that the vents are clear.

    I hope this helps.  I look forward to your reply with your comments about what you did to the spirit and procedures for detailed information on the blue screen error.

    Good luck!

  • WhatWhere is the plug-incontainer? happened to the plugin container? He disappeared with the latest version and now firefox crashes several times a day.

    I do not see the plugin container in the task manager of Windows since the last update of Firefox and now FF freezes several times per day (since the previous update, before yesterday). It takes several minutes after that I see this until it thaws, and it is faster the "end task" and restart Firefox to wait. This most often seems to happen when the computer has been idle for a certain time, rather than when I use it.

    Be sure to let the process of plugin-container in the firewall.

  • Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off. I have to shut my computer down several times a day to turn off the monitor.

    Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off.  So, I shut down my computer and restart several times a day, because when I put it in mode 'sleep', he wakes to the top in a few minutes and will not fall asleep.  I could put a blanket on my screen when not in use, but I'd rather find a way to make it stay asleep when I tell him.

    Light (switch) had already done once before and I was so worried that once I turned off the monitor that I would never get it new on... a bit short of money here, to buy a new monitor, but the next day, I pressed the power button with an additional downward pressure and I could so he could start working again (able to turn the market monitor).  It was about 3 weeks ago.  Now, the light stays green, unless I stop the whole computer.

    Maybe my main problem is sleep mode, which removes the screen for like 2 minutes and then he wakes up to the top and is so rude when I myself and try to sleep, I just turn off the monitor everytime I put the computer to sleep.

    Now, I can't turn off the monitor, except by turning off the computer.

    Also, try to start the computer in Mode safe.
    When the computer is switched on 1, start pressing F8 until you get a menu of Windows startup, choose Safe Mode.

    Sounds like something important happened (corruption).  If you have important data there (for example, your wives, diploma work), I would strongly suggest taking the computer to a qualified technician so that they can recover data out of there before the drive goes down or the o/s is too damaged.
