    Hi Brothers , I have a bit of a problem just started today ,,, my laptop is all good charging etc when using for the net etc , but as soon as I start a game the games start to stutter and then the green light on the charger gets dimmer and dimmer until it goes out , I unplug plug put back in then the green light returns and then again it does the same thing , so under load the charger seems to bomb out , so is it the charger or the laptop , but like I said in normal mode everything seems fine .

    thanks in advance ..need to sort asap please ..cheers

    Try a different outlet. if that doesn't work it may just be the charger.
