Kernel_task greater than 100%.
I upgraded my memory to 16GB and now the fan runs constantly and the kernel_task is greater than 100%. The screen no longer works and I may have damaged the screen connector, so I am using an external monitor. Needless to say, my upgraded machine is much slower than when it was 8GB.
Update (10/18/2021)
Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately my display connector seems to be damaged.

@miwhite - Can you post a few pics so we can see the problem. We might be able to aim you to the needed part/s.
If you think this is beyond your skills set thats cool! If you can give us your country and nearest city we might be able to aim you to someone who can help you.
