    There is basically zero performance drop. Just plug it in and enjoy. Dual monitor is great

    Yes. The performance cost of a second display for desktop use is basically nothing, especially for a mere 1366 x 768 display.
     
    To give you an idea I was running an extended desktop all the way back on my Windows 98 laptop (Pentium III @ 800mhz, Ati Rage Pro graphics with a whopping 8MB of video ram) with no loss in performance.

    Since you had power issues first thing to troubleshoot would be the PSU.
    Try another one.  Buy or borrow one if possible. 
     
    That's all I can think of that could be the issue although these things are always difficult to diagnose from afar obviously. 
     
    But power -->  PSU, most likely
