Recently Bought a Predator 300 Model G3-571 and noticing battery drains when charging

jrc113 · April 2018

So I am just wondering if this is normal or a problem, I am not too techy savy. So I bought my Predator around February and everything has been working fine, but recently I have noticed when I play video games or using VR, my battery drains even if I am charging while playing. I noticed it started happening a couple of weeks with just small drops in the battery such as reahcing 95-90% but yesterday I got down to 85%. Laptop works perfectly fine without being plugged charging, I am just wondering if this is something I should expect due to the games being demanding or is there an actual issue? I am up to date in my drivers and BIOS. Thank you for any help or suggestions

Hi,
You could try reinstalling Microsoft ACPI-Compliant control method battery driver, go to Device manager, expand Batteries, go to Properties of Microsoft ACPI-compliant control method battery, uninstall the driver and reboot to let Windows install the driver.
