Unknown failure on Virtual-Machine startup: blue, red, green checked (plaid)

Post by Enomine »

Hello,

what happened so far:
- Host System is Windows 10 Enterprise on
- Gigabyte AORUS B550i Pro AX Mainboard with
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and
- Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 Solid State Module and
- 64GB Patriot PC3200 Viper Steel Gaming RAM
- Installed Oracle VirtualBox 6.1.18
- Configured new VM with 8GB RAM and 20GB HDD on path C:\Virtuelle Maschinen\VirtualWindows_orig
- Downloaded "Media Creation Tool" from Microsoft and downloaded Windows 10 installation image
- Started new VM and put in Windows 10 installation image as boot-device
- VirtualBox said failure "not in a hypervisor partition", (Keywords for others: Secure Virtual Machine Mode (SVM), Virtualization Technology (VT), AMD-V) solved by: reddit com/r/gigabyte/comments/bup7hr/where_is_virtualization_in_bios/

I think this failure is now solved. I enabled SVM in BIOS.
Please see on youtube what happens when starting the VirtualMachine:

I have no failure-message.
Any solution for this?

Thanks - Enomine

Fixed it by changing the Windows version from 32bit to 64bit at Settings -> Basic -> Version.

Thanks - Enomine
