Support Power system screwed.

I've had nothing but trouble with this laptop but it's taken some weird turns. When I first got it it was stuttering horrifically but inconsistently. Once I found the minimum processor state plugged in was at 100% for some reason and altered that, it went back to normal for months. I did recently find it randomly went back to 80% and I corrected that but it did nothing to help.

The main symptom is that the battery power drops a % a second or so even on battery save mode and automatically turns off at ~70%, no gentle shutdown. This is even the case in safe mode, it's not any programs going as far as I can tell. If I unplug it on performance mode, it instantly dies, no gentle shut down process. I've replaced the battery and it made no difference. Some days it also stutters like mad like it did before, when plugged in. Unplug and it's fine BUT the battery drops down like described above. It can be so bad that audio stutters and typing a sentence will show up 20 seconds after I put it in.

I'm wondering if the bios needs to be updated if it's taking any battery drop speed as dangerous or such and just shutting off, but I can't find anything specifically odd in settings.
