I am getting extreme power limit throttling. My gpu clock drops from 1800mhz all the way to 139mhz. This happens for a second then it is fine for another 3-4 seconds. It keeps looping like that. The battery also stops charging for a second and starts charging again and it keeps looping like that. I undervolted my cpu with ThrottleStop and it was working fine for a month but it started throttling again. My cpu speed also drops from 3.9ghz to 1.2ghz. This also happens for a second then it is fine for another 3-4 seconds. My temps are pretty low. While playing CSGO, my cpu temp is 70-75C and gpu temp doesn't exceed 70C. 

 

My specs:

Dell G3 3579

i7 8750h

1050 ti 4Gb

16gb ram

I checked Dell power manager and battery health is excellent

It could be a couple of problems 

1st the power cable isn't providing stable power to your laptop 

2nd your temps probably throttling

3rd if you power cable is connected to the wall via a splitter then it is not getting stable power from the wall try either getting rid of the splitter it find a plug that doesn't have a splitter on it

I checked the power cable and disconnected and connected everything back together. The power cable isn't connected to a splitter. My temps are lower than 70C while playing csgo. But it's still throttling. When the cpu speed drops, gpu speed is high. But when gpu speed drops, cpu speed is high.

that indicates that cooling is being limited or stressed because too much power is being pulled

Is there any solution for that?

now i would say its normal but that is only apparent on new laptops and not a year old ish one so im not sure but try stressing it with a gpu and cpu stress test (gta is pretty intense if you want a game)

It throttles even when i am not playing video games. I got my laptop like 9 months ago.

Can you try stressing it and monitor the temps and usage please
