VirtualBox: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes Error
2
I am trying to run a Virtual Machine of Ubuntu, but I get an error on start up:
According to the error message, it is an error in the BIOS. Is there a way to access it and fix this error?
Edit: On Windows 10, I've been trying to access my BIOS. I have held down Delete at Start Up along with the new method with UEFI. I still cannot find a solution.

It is not an error in the BIOS, it is a request to enable VT-x in the BIOS. Did you try? And are you using a CPU that supports VT-x in the first place?

@techraf Since I have a Gigabyte motherboard, I must hold Delete on startup. I have done that but since I have Windows 10, they replaced the start up BIOS with the UEFI interface. My i7-3820 3.60GHz 4 Core processor supports VT-x.

It is not an error in the BIOS, it is a request to enable VT-x in the BIOS. Did you try? And are you using a CPU that supports VT-x in the first place?

@techraf Since I have a Gigabyte motherboard, I must hold Delete on startup. I have done that but since I have Windows 10, they replaced the start up BIOS with the UEFI interface. My i7-3820 3.60GHz 4 Core processor supports VT-x.
