each brand of laptop has different charger. looks like your adapter is not the correct one you plug in. if you continue plug in that may cause a problem on your laptop specially the hardware. each adapter have different output voltage because it matters on your laptop battery. there is no software issue here its all hardware issue.

It's not really clear what type of charger you're using. It sounds like it's not a compatible one to your laptop (did you get it from someone else?). Try to find someone which has a dell like yours and try his/hers charger.
Good luck
