Your comp[uter throttles because you are leaning on the gear stick, if you turn the key then it might stop.

lol...because some components run faster than others, so the faster component ends up waiting or bottlenecking to get data through. Example: CPU and Front Side Bus

Throttling usually refers to the clock speed (of your CPU or GPU) dropping once you hit the critical temperature. It's to prevent system failure from overheating components, although your system probably already has some issues that you need to get to if it's throttling.

It's a power saving feature more than likely. You can probably disable it in the BIOS if you want, but the CPU will clock itself back up when the extra power is actually needed.

Is that a computer?
why does it look like car? 
btw, I still don't get it...
So if it throttles, it means it's in critical temperature?

2 reasons for throttling:
1: Critical temperature
2: power saving because the apps running aren't using 100% of your cpu

No wonder it throttles everytime I run big games like borderlands, coz it's using all the power!

Is there a way to turn throttling off? Cuz my cpu gets to critical temperature for nothing(at 73C it starts to throttle and just opening msn make the temp reach 73C..) and I can't do anything cuz of that...

Power saving does not work that way.

You probably could, but then your computer would overheat and then meltdown and then blow up and then your house would be on fire and then I'd be seeing you on the news.

I wouldn't turn throttling off if I were you, I mean, it's there for a reason.
You should get a new fan.

you can turn the power saving features off in the BIOS.
if you are overclocking, this is generally a good idea.
