Ive already Reset SMC Reset NVRAM and PRAM Ran Hardware/ mac diagnostic tool on boot up. The computer is running slow right at boot up. I have not recently installed anything or changed anything. Issue started after it ran out of battery last night. Activity monitor shows that it takes 22 to 70% of cpu when open. Running at ~80% idle cpu usage. GPU usage is minimal. Issue persists in safe mode, which I had a spike of 93% cpu usage with nothing running. Even with high CPU load, the mac is not heating up like it normally does. The mac community pages have been very unhelpful. I factory reset it no more than 2 months ago, and would like to avoid doing that again if at all possible.
try adding new thermal paste the fans could also be clogged or one could be damaged try cleaning the fans
