#PARALLELS FOR MAC OVERHEATING UPDATE#

If the problem is with WiFi, go to the Security & Privacy option of System Preferences, go to the TCP-IP tab, and click on the Advanced button. If a process is hung, it may not restart correctly after a reboot. If I had just killed the BSDTAR jobs, they would have simply restarted the next time I booted the system.Д¬lose all applications before shutting down the system. When the system finished booting and I logged in, I opened Activity Monitor and the four BSDTAR processes were gone. The parent process of Parallels Toolkit had been LAUNCHD, indicating that the program was started at boot time. I then shut down the computer, waited 30 seconds, and then restarted.

Since an update was available for Parallels, I purchased, downloaded, and installed the update. This told me that Parallels toolkit was the problem. The window now changed to show BASH as the process group and Parallels Toolkit as the parent process. Since neither BSDTAR or BASH was helpful, I clicked on the parent process. This caused a small window to pop-up with the name of the process group, the parent process, and the user. (There are multiple processor cores, so the total CPU usage can be much more than 100%.) In my case, I had four tasks marked BSDTAR at the top, with each using about 100% of a processor. If the tasks with highest CPU don't appear at the top, click on the column again. The first thing is to open Activity Monitor, click on the CPU tab, and then click on the column marked '% CPU'. Also many CPU intensive tasks are launched by other programs, so merely doing a force quit will cause them to start up again. I had merely thought the new version would improve performance, but it turns out that the old version caused problems.
