Screen tearing only while on battery

I have finally decided to start using Linux on my np355v5c laptop which has AMD HD 7660G & HD 7670M, everything works (almost) perfectly, except that when I unplug the cable, the screen starts to tear especially on the cursor, if I plug it back everything goes back to normal.
I have Kubuntu 16.04 installed and I didn't install any drivers so I think I am using the pre-installed opensource ones.
Note: the problem does NOT happen in bios or when I had windows 10 installed, it happens on freshly installed Ubuntu.
Hope I can get some help here because I really liked Linux and don't want to go back to windows 10.
