Intel's Virtualization Technology is causing POST failure

[Loumier]

I subscribed for a React Native course, it's a mobile framework, at certain point of the course it request to run Android on a virtual machine (I'm using Oracle's VirtualBox). When I run
the virtual machine it shows this error message.

 

 

So I went to Windows features and enaled Hyper-V technology. Didn't fixed my error. So I understood it's a hardware related problem. Then I went to the BIOS, enabled Intel's Virtualization technology, saved the my BIOS configuration and after the PC didn't boot up properly. It turns on yet, but not properly. The fans are on, all the LEDs turns on, but it doesn't has video output also and also seems energy isn't arriving at the peripherals (these have LEDs).

Then I restored the BIOS to the factory configuration by removing motherboard's battery. Now it's on, but everytime I try to enable Virtualization Technology this problem comes back. Already checked on Intel's website, and my I7 3770 is compatible with this technology.

If the BIOS isn't enabling it correctly, try checking out my video and see if it may help: 

It's not a permanent solution but it may help to at least get passed this hurdle.  It sounds like the BIOS may not be setting the MSR's correctly.

I'll watch the video. But at the first minutes you went to the task manager and in your PC it says "Virtualization: Disabled", at mines it says Enabled, even if it's disabled in the BIOS and still can't virtualize Android. Very strange.

I'd still check the MSR's and see what they are really set to.  If it is indeed enabled in the MSR's, then you may need to force Hyper-V to be disabled, there may be some conflict going on.

I tried what you suggested in the video, but the MSR editor can't write the values on the register. I don't know why, it just couldn't. Also, does this procedure put my hardware on risk? Should I try another software capable to manually write values on the CPU's registers? According to the developer page seems this software development was abandoned.

 

The MSR Editor returns me a 1. I think this means you're right, probably there's some conflict going on.

As per the video, if you get a 1, they are locked by the BIOS and can't be changed.  So the BIOS is the fault here.

Damn, seems that's exactly the problem. When I setup the BIOS to enable VT-x the computer doesn't turns on properly. Any idea how to fix that?

I personally don't know, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if they have an updated BIOS that fixes things.

I think I already know the answer. The motherboard is model from 2013, and the latest update available at Asus website is from 2014.
