System hang up as long as guest system startup with VT-x

64-bit OS
so system enabled VT-x/AMD-V feature
host system will hang up as long as the 'black background window'(after start button is clicked on GUI of VirtualBox) shows up with VT-x enabled.
everything fine if I use a 32-bit OS and disable VT-x/AMD-V.
Host system:
Archlinux until 2017-04-19
VirtualBox version:
5.1.18 r114002
Kernel version:
4.10.10 (older version such as 4.9.x has same problem)
`lsmod|grep -i vbox` output :
vboxnetflt 28672 0
vboxnetadp 28672 0
vboxpci 24576 0
vboxdrv 385024 3 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt,vboxpci
Intel Virtualization Tecnology is enabled in BIOS.

If I'm not mistaken, Arch has their own fork version of VirtualBox. You can either ask in their forums for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Downloads section of VirtualBox (
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads).

Thanks for reply.
Yes, virtualbox is installed by package manager of archlinux.
I asked in Archlinux's forum.
I'm asking here in case there is someone knows how to fix it.

I don't know the specifics, but common logic would say that if your system hangs when a VM is using VT-x, then something else is using VT-x in the system and doesn't like sharing it. I would check to see what else you have installed in the system that may be using VT-x. Common culprits could include antivirus, debuggers, emulators, etc.

I don't think any debuggers/emulators/antivirus softwares is running before hang up occurred.
below is an output of 'ps auxww' with root user.

BTW,
