Computer overheating? Only when unplugged

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I have a mid 2012 retina 15 MacBook Pro.  I have a program that I use to test the computer that will let me know the FPS and the GPU heat.  It seems if the computer is unplugged from a power source and goes past 80 C it will go black and a few seconds later the fans will stop spinning (shutting down).  When I hit the power button it acts as if it is dead and shows a "plug device in" sign. Once I plug the computer in it will fireback up within 10 seconds and continue where it left off on the program.  However if I run the same test for 20+ minutes with the power adapter connected it never shuts down.

Not really sure that this is normal and would like you know the community's thought on this issue I have experiencing.

=== Update (09/23/2017) ===

Here are the results from coconutbattery.  I checked the battery but it seems to be "normal".  As for my current energy saver settings I have the battery power set at 2 minutes for display sleep and 10 minutes for computer sleep.  Even if the display was to go to sleep I do not think I would be seeing a sign showing "plug in battery".

Thanks again guys, let me know!
