OMEN 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-b0000
Laptop is about 2 months old, running great until now. Suddently when plugged in with ac adapter, everything becomes slow and games are unplayable, dropping down to about 10 fps or less.
When unplugged, everything runs as normal but its games are optimal unless plugged in.
Charging seems fine too, white led light on when 4.5mm jack plugged in and charging symbol on bottom right taskbar in Windows.
I have ran the HP PC Diagnostic Windows AC Adapter Test and it always cancels and this is the test.log

Don't know what to do but I'm guessing the AC adapter has issues. What can I do?
