    Rohit_Madu have you optimised your windows properly and undervolted with TS check here if not do so as check the results its also very common when on heavy load this to happen it means the cpu/gpu are consuming much more power than the adapter and battery can provide if undervolting doesnt work to  lower the power consumption im afraid nothing else can be done  good luck :)

    I have just repasted my cpu & gpu with thermal grizzly which took care of thermal throttling, but power limit throttling is same, it would stop when I start TS

    Rohit_Madu as i said if TS its not working to reduce your high power consumption nothing else can be done you can try to undervolt it further until you find the limits of you cpu to see how much more power reduction you can get you will notice when you get there you will either bsod or freeze i recommend you to enable the old F8 legacy boot menu via cmd first before you try anything as its the easiest way t get into safe mode and delete/rename the ts conf or you will be in bootloop forever until you can enter safe mode good luck
