    Hey all,
    So I've had my asus g73jh for about a year and a half now, and a couple of days ago it started doing something weird. Every so often (5-20 minutes) the power4gear charging/ battery mode splash screen will apear, and my laptop will stop and start charging over and over again. This will persist for about a minute or two and then it'll go back to normal for 20 minutes. I've seen one or two posts asking how to get rid of the splash screen but nothing hinting towards whether this is a charger or laptop issue. Also, I'm using a 3rd party charger from pwr+ that was recommended on this website ( found here). Has anyone else experienced this / any advice?

    Try checking the wear level of your battery using HWiNFO64 tool or try to obtain and use the AC Adapter that Asus made for the G73JH.
