65W AC Power Adapter has been detected.

Out of the blue, the same AC adapter that has been running my Dell Inspiron 9300 for years now is ginving me a message during boot-up:

"A 65W AC Power Adapter has been detected, preventing optimal system performance"

It asks me to (F1) Continue, (F2) Enter Setup, or (F3) Disable Messages.

Now what would have brought on this AC Adapter to give a message like that?  Could it be someone tried to boot my laptop with another Dell adapter?  And even so, wouldn't my original adapter BE the one with which the system would run with optimal performance?

TIA.

If possible, try another adapter.  If it does the same thing, the power jack on the mainboard is faulty.
