    I installed Windows 7 and Nvidia drivers, but am unable to find an option to change frequency or manage low/high-power GPU states in the drivers.

    Some time ago I used to use a reg tweak to enable coolbits and it showed those options, but nowadays, there's nothing.

    Any ways to manage frequencies or even voltage of GPU will be appreciated.

    I am running GF Go 6150.

    nibitor is what I would suggest, best way to do it.

    Just mod the BIOS with nibitor and flash it with nvflash.

    Is there a way to test the bios before flashing?

    And, what are the consequences if I set voltages too low? Will I be still able to boot and fix it?

    Nvidia system tools here.

    I wouldn't screw with the voltage of an integrated chip, but that's me. If you set it too low, it will artifact and maybe not boot. If you want to, the only way is nibitor as hazard said.
