I have a HP 8300 elite (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz). I'm trying to run a virtual machine via VirtualBox. But every time I start the VM, it says:

VT-x is disabled in the BIOS. (VERR_VMX_MSR_VMXON_DISABLED).

My lscpu output is like this:

Architecture:          x86_64
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order:            Little Endian

L1d cache:             32K

L3 cache:              8192K
NUMA node0 CPU(s):     0-7

I went into the BIOS but the things the can be tweaked is very limited and I couldn't find the VT-x setting.

Anybody know how to do this in this setup?
