Virtual box maxing out cpu

Hello everyone,

I have just installed Virtualbox on my computer and am trying to install Linux Ubuntu to it. However, it is very slow, and after waiting for what seemed like forever I checked my resource usage - it is constantly using 100% of my CPU. I am currently using an Acer Aspire One with the following specs:

Processor : 2 x Intel Atom CPU Z520 @ 1.33GHz
Memory : 2052MB
OS : Linux Lite 1.0.6

Has anyone experienced any of these problems? I would really appreciate a bit of help here.

Thanks
Dan

Make sure Virtualization is enabled in your BIOS, that nothing else is using it, and that it is enabled in your VM configuration.

Please make sure to attach as zip your VM log as described hereif my suggestion did not help
