        Check "top -SH" from the console shell to see what is using up the CPU.

        If you're on 2.0 you can view that from the GUI under Diagnostics > System Activity.

          Probably same error as me. Haven't figured it out yet.

            Please post a snapshot of the output of pfSense shell command top -S -H when the system is 100% busy.
