By using a battery charger not designed for your particular computer, you
may well have damaged the circuitry in your PC. In any case, the shutdowns
you describe may well have caused data and program file corruption on your
hard drive, leading to the problems you describe.
1. You need to solve your power problem by either purchasing a correct
charger and/or battery (your current battery may be damaged).
2. To correct the software problems, you will probably have to format your
drive and reinstall the OS, or restore the factory configuration from your
recovery partition, if you have one.
Before you do any of the above, does your PC work correctly when plugged
into a wall outlet?
