Windows 10: How to check if laptop is receiving enough power?

I have an old 64-bit Gateway laptop that im tinkering with and was wondering if theres software I could use to check power input. I had to solder on a new power jack and the laptop shuts off when playing games and even starting a stress test. I'm eliminating factors such as processor overheat and would like to see if my solder job wasn't good enough.


Thanks!
