Oracle VM VT-x

[Spae]

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature.
Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer.

Before it was telling me to enable it in my bios but i ignored it by clicking continue. It warned me again with the above message and after clicking continue again the os sat on an image of 4 blue squares(windows)/failed to start and then goes to a console mode and tells me to restart ( doesn't help ).

I've had this problem before on this same pc, though i forgot what the solution. I don't think it can be to do with the bios settings as they haven't changed since last time.

What to do

You need to boot your computer into its BIOS settings and enable VT-x.

The error message you are getting is when you have tried to enable VT-x in your VirtualBox settings but it isn't enabled in your BIOS.
