If your MacBook is overheating or the fan won’t stop, it’s time to check the Activity Monitor. Because statistical process may be eating up your CPU processing unnecessarily.
What are Systemstats?
Systemstats is a native process in OS X that keeps track of everything that’s going on in your Mac at the system level. It is used to retrieve information about things like system statistics and energy usage. Most of the time, it runs in the background, using almost 0% of the CPU’s processing power.
But the systemstats process has been known to be rogue activity and takes up 100 to 300% of CPU processes. That means your Mac will become sluggish and start to overheat.
How to check if Systemstats is the problem
To check if it’s really a systemstats process problem, open Activity Monitor word app utilities folder in Applications.
Search system statistics.
That will tell you what percentage of CPU power is being used by the systemstats process.
If you’re running a modern MacBook with Mavericks, you most likely have App Nap enabled. Many users have reported that simply disabling the feature solves the problem.
How to kill Systemstats
Step 1: From Activity Monitor application, select system statistics progress.
Step 2: Click on the . icon X button in the top left corner. From the pop-up, click Give up.
Kill the process from the terminal
If you prefer Terminal instead of GUI, enter this command to kill the process from Terminal.
sudo killall system statistics
What if this doesn’t work
Killing the systemstats process will restart it in its default state. But what to do if that doesn’t work?
Try Reset SMC (And PRAM)
SMC stands for System Management Controller and it only applies to Intel-based Macs.
This process is responsible for monitoring system-level details such as power consumption, battery usage, CPU usage, and many other system-level functions. Basically, the information provided by systemstats is tracked by the SMC. So resetting SMC will reset all parameters related to system statistics and will solve your problem.
Reset PRAM and SMC go hand in hand. For more on the exact meaning of both of those terms and how to reset them, check out our detailed guide.
For Advanced Users – Disable Systemstats
If you’re familiar with how Mac and Terminal work, you can go ahead and shut down the entire system stats process. Disabling and re-enabling will delete any saved databases and reset the code.
For most users, shutting down the process or resetting the PRAM and SMC should suffice.
But if that’s not the case, check out this discussion at the Apple support forum.
