Welcome to HP Forums,  

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

 

I see that you're experiencing Laptop Freezes when plugging in power cord issue, Power management software could be causing it.  When you're running on battery and then you plug it in, power management kicks in and brightens the screen and resets the timing on the hardware as far as putting it to sleep and waking it up.  
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Have you tried with an alternate ac adapter?
  • Does computer shutdwon when ac adapter is unplugged? 

While you respond to that, I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:

Let's try this:

 

 

You could try going into your power options and changing the settings so that they are the same for the battery as well as ac.

 

  1. In Windows, search for and open Control Panel.

  2. Search for power, and then click Power Options.

    Opening the Power Options in Windows

  3. Select an option under Choose or customize a power plan.

    Selecting a power plan

  4. To customize the selected plan, click Change plan settings, and then select the display and sleep settings when using the battery and when plugged in.

    NOTE: To set up a personalized plan, click Create a power plan from list on the left side of the main Power Options window, and then follow the on-screen instructions. The plan displays in the list of available power plans.
  5. To change more power settings, click Change advanced power settings.

     Change advanced power settings for more options

  6. Click the plus sign next to the component or function, change the available settings, click Apply, and then click OK.

    Changing the Advanced settings

  7. Click Save changes.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
