Hey there! @mr_producer, Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

I understand that when the adapter is plugged into your PC the CPU is running at 100 percent.

I think the adapter that you are using might be faulty due to which the CPU is running at 100 percent, Have you tried checking with a different adapter? Or may be using an outlet that is not providing sufficient power or too much power and that is causing your power supply to have to work much harder and therefore burning out much quicker.  Make sure you are not plugging it into any power bars, surge protectors or UPS systems and you could go through the expense to have a qualified electrician come out and test the plugs to make sure they are not spiking or browning out.

Please replace the AC adapter and check again.

Let me know if this helps!

Have a wonderful day ahead! 🙂

@mr_producer, Thanks for the response.

I was unable to get the picture due to some tool issue.

Can you please write the product number of your PC and post it.

I'll watch your reply!

Check the POWER settings.  Most laptops will slow-down the CPU when running on battery power, and will dim the screen, to extend the duration of the charge of the battery.  When plugged-in, does it go to "high performance" mode, making your computer run faster?

Open the Windows "Task Manager", and switch to the "Performance" tab, before connecting the AC power, and then observe any changes when the AC adapter is connected.

At the bottom of that "Performance" tab, open the "Resource Monitor", and switch to the "Performance" tab, and repeat the "before/after" comparison.

Tell us what you see.
