I'm assuming the cooler draws a constant current, though that may be a false assumption.

The laptop supply has to be big enough to supply current when the hard drive in the laptop starts up, and there are likely other things that demand higher current for shorter periods. In other words, I suspect the laptop power supply isn't designed to supply full current on a constant basis, so when you hooked it up to the cooler, you're demanding too much from it.
