hello everyone,
I have had a problem with this notebook since day one but, not using it often, I let the warranty expire. Now that I am using it, however, I need to solve the problem. Unfortunately, without any apparent reason, from one moment to the next when the notebook is connected to the power supply (this problem I noticed does not occur when it is not connected) the screen suddenly goes black or the notebook restarts.
If I go to the event log this is what it says

@MaxSicily, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Power Supply or Charger Issue
If your charger is faulty or delivering inconsistent voltage, it might cause crashes or restarts.
Using a different, genuine HP charger (same voltage and wattage).
Plugging into a different wall outlet (direct to wall, no surge protector).
BIOS or Firmware Bug
Visit HP's official support site and check for a BIOS update.
Make sure chipset and firmware drivers are up to date.
HP Consumer Notebook PCs - Updating the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) (Windows) | HP® Support
System Extensive Test
Restart your laptop, press Esc repeatedly to open the Startup Menu, then press F2 to enter HP Diagnostics, go to System Tests, and run the Extensive Test.
Let me know the results of the test
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps.
Take care and have a good day.
