I own a brand new Asus ROG laptop. The screen gets darker and the battery icon on my taskbar says charging, but then it turns off. Even after I changed batteries, this happens again. My power supply shows 19.3 volts, which seems normal. Someone suggested rolling back my display drivers. There are Intel and NVIDIA options here, though I think NVIDIA is more important, so I did that too and nothing fixed it. The screen dimming keeps happening even if I plug in two other monitors. Removing the external screens didn't stop it either. Sometimes starting an app or a website makes the dimming happen for a few seconds. Right now, no dimming has occurred since I wrote this message; I've been charging my laptop without any dimming issues. But once I plugged it back in, the dimming started happening again earlier. I'm really confused and would appreciate some advice on how to solve this mystery. Thanks!
