VirtualBox

[Lisa Kachold]

Suggestions:

1.  Verify your CPU supports virtualization via a quick google search?
2.  Check that your BIOs settings enable virtualization by rebooting and
entering the BIOs menu.
      You could possibly have an issue with your BIOs firmware.  Flash it
again.
3.  When creating the 64-bit guest you must select 64-bit in General ->
Basic -> version.
Optionally enter "VBoxManage modifyvm <vmname> --longmode on"  [This is a
strict setting in 4.3]
4.  If you have Windows running verify HyperV is turned off.

This should fix it?
