DetailsDescription:
Adding more context to the title, my laptop loses performance randomly, sometimes, it boots and the game performance is what I expect, but some other times it boots, but the game performance is 1/3 of what it should be. Normal performance like browsing the web, listening to music, compiling, etc, isn't affected, which is weird. My laptop is an HP Pavilion G4-2205la. I have posted about this on reddit, and they say that the culprit is HP's coolsense, thing is, I don't know why couldn't the normal behavior be forced. Additional info: * package version(s) Everything update as of sat jul 15 11:03:22 -05 2017 * config and/or log files etc. I attached the dmesg, as it's the only thing that comes to my mind that could spit something out about this. Steps to reproduce:

This task depends upon
- on battery
- unsupported charger
- low performance charger (65W instead of 90/120W)
- temperature
This is also really random, for example, I have to shutdown my laptop multiple times, and then once it will get the performance it should, but, when I turn it off, there's a probability that the next boot will have the degraded performance.
