Don't buy HP - been there, done that.
Told "linux isn't relevant enough to fix a bios bug". Stopped
buying them.
Sadly no, vendors (like hp) suck for linux at times and in
general, might try some of the various grub flags for disabling
acpi, if a desktop and not sleeping, you're not losing much except
maybe some power management. Dell is generally more friendly, but
as I mentioned not always either. Anything windoze 8.x-ish is
just generally more unfriendly/quirky toward linux I find.
Thank them when you pay your next microsoft tax on a prebuilt
system.

I've tried looking on HP's website and it says I
have the latest BIOs. So unless I look for the specific board I
think it's updated right now. Unless you have suggestions.

See if there is a bios update too. Seems no one bothers
to make anything right the first time since microsoft
perfected the "ship crap and patch later" game.
You want really odd bios, my newest dell laptop after
about a month of use with only suspends will start
turning itself back on back on. Even with a poweroff
now, I have to literally 5 second poweroff to make it
stay down or it'll just start booting again. Ghost in
the shell, or at least acpi functions.

Now I don't think this is very
relevant but I also have virtualbox setup on my
laptop. I've not had an issue yet like on my
desktop. The difference is that this laptop is a
little newer and also I'm not dual booting my
laptop. Other than that they are both setup the
same way.

My computer is around 5 years

CMOS battery could be an issue because when
I looked at the date in the BIOS it wasn't
set correctly. But the date was so I could
try that.

Sounds like your bios is
resetting - maybe the cmos
battery? The VT bit is a bios
setting, really shouldn't change
unless you have a os-level app
that controls the bios too.
Seems most newer non-basic
boards have this now.

It happened the same

have the latest version
of virtualbox which is
4.3.18 and the expansion
pack.
If anyone can think of
ideas why this might be
happening that would be
helpful. But at this time
I might have to look for a
new computer.

Hi all,
I'm not sure if
someone has
already asked this
question. I have
a 64 bit host that
I have VT enabled
in the BIOS. I
can sometime
create/run 64 bit
guest machines and
other times not.
It is usually when
I reboot my
computer.
I have tried to turn
off VT or just
having it on. It
will eventually come
back though. This
problem has been
going on for a while
now. I was on
Ubuntu 12.04 but now
14.04 beyond that
nothing else
changed.
