Acceleration Not Available

Post by truacaldwell »

I am running Virtualbox 6.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and Hardware Acceleration is not available on my machine. Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. It will not let me turn off Acceleration for some reason so I'm not able to run any virtual machines. Is it my OS or my Computer itself?
Specs:
Dell PowerEdge R710
2 Xeon X5650 Cpus @ 2.66 Ghz
12 Gb RAM
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64
Virtualization Enabled
Thanks!

Please provide a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

And ps: it has been made clear for a very long time that VirtualBox 6.1.x would be, and has, dropped support for hosts which don't support VT-x/AMD-v, so running a VM without that is - literally - no longer an option.
