Please note that we don't need 4 VBox.logs, 4 black screen PNGs and the VBoxHardening.log. Just the VBox.log for a start. But thanks for zipping it!

If you address the first part (enable VT-x in your BIOS), that will fix most probably the Guru meditation.

There's no Ubuntu or Windows BIOS. There's your computer BIOS. I don't know what your computer is, but search for the documentation from the manufacturer on how to access it. You basically need to reboot your computer and while at the boot screen you need to get in the BIOS. Usual keys are F12, Esc, F8, Del, but it depends. Your i7-4790 supports it.

In there you should see something about hardware virtualization, VT-x, hardware extensions or similar. Enable that.
