Hello, I'm experiencing a very annoying problem when playing videogames on my notebook HP Notebook - 15-da0065nl with gpu model Nvidia mx130 2gb. Basically when the AC adapter is plugged in the game keeps stutter for about 5-10 secs making the game unplayable. This occurs every 30-1 min more or less. As soon as I unplug the adapter and use the BATTERY, the game becomes extremely smooth. This bizarre behaviour forces me to play on the battery but it depletes rapidly. Below the screenshots of MSI Afterburner which shows the temperature and usage graph.
How do I solve this? Any help is appreciated!
