I’ve noticed during playing games, specifically the Isle that my charger will be charging then suddenly doesn’t. It’s plugged in just not charging, showing the white light. I have to take the charger out and put it back in but sometimes it still doesn’t charge.
Ive tried when it does, holding the power for 15 seconds, then plugging it back in. Ive also reinstalled Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method. - neither of these have worked.
I also have a cooling pad that it goes on. My charger is 45W do I maybe need a higher wattage? This only happens whilst I game. When I don’t have any games running my charger is fine and doesn’t have this issue
