windows 8 - Low processor performance after removing and then plugging the power cord

It's really confusing. When plugged in, everything is lagging. On battery everything goes smooth, three times as fast.


I looked into power options, set everything to default and tried the three modes: power saver, balanced and performance.


What could be the problem?


Specs:



  • Dell Inspiron N7110


  • Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.2GHz (8CPUs) / 8 GB RAM


  • Windows 8 Pro 64-bits



EDIT 1: After a little investigation, I noticed that the needed energy for my laptop is 130W and my charger only provides 90W. I don't think this is where the issue is because the problem did not arise when I bought this charger but way later.


Is there a way to better manage my power settings? Or at least some way to use both the charger and battery at the same time and decrease battery consumption.


EDIT 2: It seems my problem arises if I unplug the power cord and put it back.
