HP ENVY m6-n012dx
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I have some serious problem while gaming.

I can play games with good fps without plugging in my power cord.

But, the moment I plug in the power cord, the fps suddenly drops to below 15 (sometimes below 10 too) that the game starts lagging and it becomes unplayable.

And again, it can be played once I unplug the power cord.

Because of this problem, I can't play any games for more than 1.5 hours with battery load alone. I need to charge my battery, wait, and then play again.

What is the cause of this problem and how can I solve it?

 

Thanks..
