Was like it was running on about 15% power. Temp was at 30 degrees. Checked all the power settings, and they were fine. Rebooted and it was the same. Ran a benchmark on the CPU and it was horrible. Tested whether it did better unplugged, but it didn't change anything. Rebooted again, and everything was back to normal. *wipes sweat off forehead*
Do you think this was a software issue since the reboot fixed it and since it had the same problem on battery? I really don't need a hardware issue on this laptop right now, although I don't think a new power supply would be very expensive. But I'm not overly comfortable working on laptops. They seem to be made specifically to discourage you from doing work yourself.
