My laptop stops charging when I launch SAMP

[TheScottishRaccoon]

I'm recently bought a new laptop charger and it charges fine when I'm using all the laptops features except SAMP. When I launch the server it stops charging and the battery life goes down. When i tab out it starts charging and when I tab in it stops. Any reasoning or help with this would be great. Thanks

This issue is so odd. What windows is your laptop?

@Ashley94 The charger you bought, is it the one made for YOUR specific laptop or is it like a universal charger?

Sounds really fucking weird.
All I can think of is maybe the charger doesn’t provide enough power and thus when you start a game it can’t keep up and doesn’t charge.

This man has it. Literally why I asked about a charger.

You're draining power faster than you're gaining it.

Buy a new charger.

1. Try using High-Performance mode, it can be found in Battery settings.
2. Try to plug in the charger after launching the game.
3. Just buy a new charger, or just take it to an official electronic shop and get it checked out.

It is not recommended to use a laptop to play games unless it's a gaming one.

I'm curious what laptop do you have?

Thanks for the replies guys x to answer the question.

1. It's a universal charger
2. My laptop is a shitty Lenovo Ideapad that sucks a big ol' dick.
3. I literally have 0.03 pence in my bank account. No buying desktop for me.

It makes sense that i am using more power than i'm getting and this should be the problem. I'm gonna wait till i get paid and buy an official charger from the lenovo website x thanks
