VERR_SVM_DISABLED even though virtualization is enabled

Post by Developer35 »

Virtualization is enabled in my BIOS.

However VirtualBox is still complaining with the error message
"AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS) (VERR_SVM_DISABLED)" when starting virtual machine.

Also it only allows to setup 32 bit guest OS even though my host OS is 64 bit. (This could be caused by the same reason as a previous problem).

Machine: HP Pavilion Model No p7-1225
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
