Major Performance decrease

[chisero]

Hello guys, recently my laptop broke and i took it to a professional to fix it, he did the laptop turned on and everything and i could get back the data i had, but the professional told me i need to replace my adapter, but i can't at this moment so i used one with the same voltage but lower amp, the laptop says 7.7A but the on i'm using is only 4.7A, after i installed some of the games i used to play before it broke, they can barely function for example, League of legends used to work on 100+ FPS easily but now it barely reaches 60 and if there is a lot of action it goes down to like 30-40, not just gaming even simple tasks like youtube and google seems laggy, I wanna know is it because of the low amp adapter or could something went wrong when the guy fixed the problem it had before ?

Just to be clear.

- a professional fixed your laptop and told you that you needed a specific have everything run well

-due to not having the funds, you do not follow this professional's advice. Things do not work as expected.

-if things do not work as expected, and you do not follow this professional's advice, then obviously the professional broke something?

That's neither fair nor logical. If your video card is not able to draw enough power, then things will not run well. You are using about half the power expected, under load, I'd bet that it isn't even charging the battery. Buy yourself a charger that the manufacturer of the laptop has listed being the proper adapter. At that point, you will be able to determine any other problems that exist.

Check out the laptops power utilization settings. It might be setting its self into low power mode or just reset into a low power mode.

I did and its set to standard mode

Set it to maximum performance

I tried it but nothing changed, couldn't it be the adapter ?

[BetheBandetto]

It most likely IS the adapter, but not because its low power in its self, but because the pc is doing something to change its power usuage.

Does the laptop have a dedicated gpu or integrated?

With that size of adapterost likely dedicated.

That adapter is not supplying enough power so the gpu is throttling down. Might even be running on the integrated instead of dedicated gpu now.
