Hello.

My MBP's been acting very strangely.

Often, when I want to connect to the internet via Ethernet, kernel_task will jump to 100% CPU power. The Ethernet (PPPoE) status states 'connected', displaying the time it's connected. However, I am unable to access the internet and kernel_task will jump and stay at 100%. It won't stop until I press the power button to force shut down. The fans' RPM will also rise too.

Anyone knows what's bugging it?

Thanks!
