Is it possible to screw with the way a certain computers hardware works through a program?

depends on what you mean

"I need to tweak certain aspects of my own hardware and I am willing to take measures more drastic than just running a program", yes

"I want to fuck up someone I don't like's computer and I can only get them to run a program", no

First one. And I don't know exactly what you mean with the yes or no. Cuz it could be a real yes or no, or you have morals and don't want to tell me the second one. But I was going for the first one. I don't really know what, but I'm sure I could tweak something to my need.

Doubt you can mess around with hardware via a program. I never heard of something virtual controlling something physical.

Drivers.

Drivers don't physically move your device... For example, a mouse driver cannot control your physical mouse to move on the mousepad.

NO SHIT. It doesn't have wheels. But you can control stuff with drivers like opening a CD drive.

You don't even need a driver to open your CD drive. Confused

Really, I was thinking of overclocking my CPU. I wanted to make a program to overclock and unclock(?) my CPU.

If it's a prebuilt computer, it's likely impossible regardless.

Otherwise, just bumping up clock speed will only limit you in the game of overclocking. If you want the most out of it you'll need to do it yourself..
