It's not an error, the system is behaving as designed. Speedstep is reducing the processor speed due to several variables (temp, load, voltage, etc). Windows is simply letting you know. Why they classify it as an error, you'd have to ask Microsoft.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you.

I've seen it on just about every system I've owned. I see it on my old HTPC which is a s939 AMD, my server which is a Core2Duo, my newest laptop which was a Core i7, and I saw it on this machine which runs a Pentium Dual Core (when it still had Windows).
