Can't virtual boot Win7 PC - CPU issue
Posted: 6. Jul 2015, 10:39
Hi All,
This is driving me insane. I have a windows 7 Dell Optiplex 3020, I have a virtualised image of this PC and need virtual box to run it. But as soon as it tries to boot, it gets a CPU error:
I've checked whether the CPU is compatible and apparently it is according to Intel's ARK site. Can someone please tell me why it's not working, or if I need to source another PC please tell me what spec machine I need. This PC is critical in our DR plan and the fact that I can virtual boot a Win XP PC and not this new Dell is beyond me.
See attachments for details:
Virtualbox error - exact error showing in virtual box when I try to boot the image.
CPU - details of the CPU in the dell optiplex 3020
BIOS - Only 1 setting in the BIOS itself related to virtualisation support and this was already enabled.
Any help/advice much appreciated.
