Welcome to HP Support community.

Provide the notebook complete model number or product number?

Meanwhile:

Try to connect the computer to different power outlet  and check if the issue persists?

Perform a hard reset on the notebook.

Refer this HP Document to perform hard reset:- Click here

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.
