Hi, I was wondering if there was a program or software to underclock my dell inspiron 1525. I would be grateful if anyone would be able to assist me in doing this task because my computer is overheating etc.

Intel or Amd processor? There should be an option in the bios. If it's Intel its called Speedstep, if its AMD its called cool n' quiet. Just make sure it's enabled.

It's a setting in the bios. It may or may not be in there.
