I've recently bought a used GF66 11UE, and it seems whenever I'm playing any sort of intensive games, my screen will flash black, and then my laptop will stop charging, and use the battery power. This makes my games lag, and is really annoying. Anyone know what the problem could be?
 
Sounds like the issue is related to the charger, but you can try to do EC reset first.
EC reset: shutdown the laptop and unplug the AC > long press the power button for over 25 seconds > plug in the AC and power on the laptop
If you have another charger, try to use another charger to check if the issue remains.

The charger is a 120W, would that be the issue?
 
If you are using a 120W adapter instead of the original 180W adapter.... Then yes, that could absolutely be the issue.
