AC adapter Issue.

[Bart1048]

Hi.

Recently I have overheated my Ac charger by  accidentally covering it with a blanket.

The adapter stopped working briefly and after cooling down started working again.

The charger seems to work fine now.

After that incident however I noticed a frame rate drop while gaming.

I was wondering is there a possibility  the AC Charger is not supplying enough power to the laptop and therefore the gpu (geforce 1060) is underperforming? 

Is there any way to check the laptop/ gpu is getting enough power and the AC Charger working correctly?

Please advise.

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

A malfunctioning AC Adapter can definite cause such issues. Let's ensure first it is not a Software related issue

I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊
