64 Bit install failures

I am having issues installing any 64 bit OS on my Virtual box, it starts, and then says it has encountered an error, and then it restarts. 32 bit (x86) installs work fine. I have a 64 bit Host running enough memory and a core i5 Cpu
What am I doing wrong here??

VT must be enabled in the bios of the host.

Hardware virtualization (VT-x or AMD-v) must be available on your PC in order to run 64bit guests, regardless of what the host is. VT-x (or AMD-v) must be available in your CPU, enabled in your host PC BIOS, and selected in the VM settings. Also, no other software can use VT-x at the same time as VirtualBox.
