Hello, I've been having a problem recently with my over a-year-old laptop, whenever I plug it in, the whole laptop starts lagging, and any game that I had open will quit and animations, when I hover my mouse over them, will not start instantly. For some reason though, my laptop works fine when not plugged in.
I have also noticed that sometimes I will have a blue screen of death with the stopcode DPC-WATCHDOG-VIOLATION when my laptop is lagging, I am not sure if it is connected to the issue though.
I have tried to change my power plan, test and calibrate the battery, and restart my laptop.
Please do assist

Hello @PurpleCanvas
Thanks for reporting.

Apologies for the late reply.
This could be a <technical problem> which was not detected by HP Diagnostics.
My options are exhausted...
Recommendation and solution
HP warranty valid -> Contact HP Support for service repair
HP warranty expired:
You should have it serviced by a professional notebook (chip level) repair store.
Kind regards
