Need to stop overclocking in Windows 10

[LindaJ]

Since upgrading to windows 10, my hp pavilion pc sounds like it's racing and now gets very hot. I've been told it's "overclocking".
I didn't have this issue until the w10 upgrade. I really regret upgrading, but now that I have, I want to make sure that this new overclocking is stopped before it fries my PC.

Who the hell said it was overclocking?

Most likely it has nothing to do with the OS at all, rather something else you installed. Simply reinstall windows 10 and you'll see it works fine

Since installing W10, whenever I play games on either Pogo.com or one of my BigFishGames.com on my PC, the graphics trigger an acceleration which causes overheating. I have not installed anything since the W10 upgrade and it didn't do this before. In trying to find out why this was happening, several others have told me that W10 causes overclocking. My laptops, running W7, do not do this and I will not upgrade them. If you have another idea of what could be causing this, please let me know. Thanks.

ok, so first off, I have some questions for you.
What processor are you using? It should say on the front of your case if it is an AMD or Intel.
what is the advertised maximum clock speed of your processor? To see this, click the settings, then go to system, click about, and then look at the processor section.
Go into your system bios, which on HP computers I think is F10 when you start up, I could be wrong, but anyways, then go into advanced bios settings, which is named differently weather you have a traditional or UEFI bios, and look at your current maximum clock settings. Overclocking is when you set your CPU clock speeds to higher than what the stock speeds were.

oh, and also,

Scan for viruses. Sometimes, a virus can overload a cpu, causing it to get hot and slow down or crash your pc.

If all else fails

Try to do a reinstall.
