Basically my MacBook has become really slow for no apparent reason. Well, actually there is a reason, kernel_task is using 300% of my CPU. My keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive and the fans are being really loud.
This issue started yesterday and I'm pretty anxious about it since it is a work computer and it wouldn't be very good if I took it back to work in the state that it's in.

Help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: For some reason it also asks me if I want to connect a bluetooth keyboard. Not sure why that is either.
