Graphics problem on Samsung series 5

[edward_ccm]

Im new to the forum and had a small problem. I like to use Samsung Series 5 Laptop for occasional gaming when I'm on the road or at school but i noticed that i am unable to play games while the computer is charging. A simple game like street fight X tekken plays great while on battery but as soon as you connect the charger the game goes to crap. I have already tried messing with the power settings and i even created a custom power setting to see if the default ones where corrupt but it made no difference. I uploaded a video to you tube so you could see the significant change. if anyone has any suggestions im open because at this moment i dont know what else to try.

This is probably something you should contact Samsung customer support for. Have you tried playing while plugged in with the battery removed?

I can't remove my battery because its built into my pc but thanks for the response

I have a Samsung series 5(UK model) ie this one http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Samsung_550P5C_1192061.html no issues gaming while charging,all I can suggest is update the video drivers,mine also has dedicated Nvidia 650M chip so I updated both the Intel HD4000 drivers and installed latest beta Nvidia drivers for my laptop,first thing I did was update my BIOS.


Power option I normally keep it on the Samsung 80% max charge setting option (one that increases battery life).
Hope this helps.

Btw battery is removable on mine,(I probably order a cheap spare of eBay later).
