Overclocking a CPU in a laptop is a really BAD idea! Why? Because heat is the primary enemy of a laptop, and the tiny fans struggle in the best of times to stop the CPUs from overheating and causing a thermal crash. If you overclock, you drive up the voltage (more heat) and speed up the processor (more heat). This will almost certainly lead to a thermal crash that can trash the CPU.
Some OEMs lock out the advanced BIOS options to prevent customers from making changes to options that can destabilize or otherwise damage the PC -- and then send it back for repair under warranty claiming they did nothing to it.
I know only SOME of the advanced options are risky, but it's simpler to disable access to ALL advanced options than to allow/disallow on an individual option basis.
That's the course of action that HP has chosen.
