Battery Charger makes my laptop a toaster

Open

hello, my laptop has pretty nice specs, it works so well, until i plug my charger, it becomes extremely slow and any game transforms from 60 FPS to 05 or even 02, i searched online so much and could not find an answer, anyone had that issue before?

Did you buy a new charger? Maybe you purchased a charger that provides less wattage than is needed. I have read that some laptops will put themselves in a lower power state if you plug in an underpowered charger. The number of amps the charger puts out will be printed on the charger next to "output".

That seems to be the complete opposite of what it should do, maybe your power options has it set as battery saving whenever charging. Look into your power options settings

could be the issue then. if you go into Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features take a look and see if anything stands out.

My guess is your power adapter give less voltage than what your laptop need.
If you are using battery, it can save power and give you the right voltage when your laptop need. (like UPS on PC)
Simple way to check is using program like CPU-Z to check if your laptop components use a lot lower voltage than factory setting.
Best way to check is bring your laptop to a repair shop.

Hmm... Do you happen to have any overclock settings/program that has settings on battery and plugged options? It could be set to downclock while plugged in.
