    Controlpanel-->Power-->SelectPlan (3 presets available), under selected plan
    there's a radiobutton which says:
    "change plan settings", click it.
    You're in Plan Settings, one of the links says "CHANGE ADVANCED POWER
    SETTINGS".

    Click it, and scroill down to Processor Power Management. It's just a fancy
    word for CPU clockspeed, you can set fgrom 0 to 100%, for min & max range.

    When I limit CPU to 25% max, I can hear fan stops and everything gets
    cooler, but so does the speed drops! So if you do wordprocessing or simple
    things on a battery, I set o 25%, if I work with complex CAD drawings on
    ACpower I set to 70-90%.
    I don't like 100% because my machine is fast enough and I don't like to
    OVERHEAT processor, cause I am unemployed since 2 mos ago and if it goes
    down, i'd be in megatrouble

    OMG, someone is keeping my "instructions"?

    Flattering, but don't follow me or anyone rigidly, use own judgement, I have
    a different processor & applications, so my settings are personal, OK, have
    a good one....

    You are right. NOBODY should follow you. You really should power down your
    PC and look for something else to do after correcting your system clock. If
    you truly don't understand how to change your system clock, you should call
    support and they will be happy to walk you through the process. Don't be
    afraid.
