Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Z820 Bios Virtualization on. Showing not supported in speccy 

Intel Xeon CPU E5-2687W 0 @ 3.10GHz X2
Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Model 158B (CPU0)
Version 1.01

Brand Hewlett-Packard
Version J63 v03.96
Date 10/28/2019

 If I set virtualization off in bios speccy says virtualization supported not active

Not understanding why Virtualization is not working any assistance would be much appreciated. The CPU's worked fine in another Z820  no issues with virtualization. Have even re-updated the bios thinking that may have caused the issue.

Hi Anonwatch,

 

Can you please post your Boot Block Date, (as indicated in the BIOS). i.e. do you have a V1 or V2 version motherboard?

Please also post what additional hardware is installed, e.g. GPU, RAM, any other PCI cards, etc. ( i have read a few threads where AMD graphics drivers were causing issues).

 

Unfortunately, I don't use virtualization my self but a quick Google search, ("virtualization enabled in bios but not working windows 10") seems to bring up a load of hits. Have had a look at any of these 'fixes'?

 

Hopefully, someone with some expertise in this area will join the thread.

and have you compared the results "speccy" shows against another program? try this:

 

  1. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del.
  2. Select Task Manager.
  3. Click the Performance tab.
  4. Click CPU.
  5. The status will be listed under the graph and will say "Virtualization: Enabled" if this feature is enabled.

Yes it shows virtualization enabled . However when i try to install a virtual machine in virtual-box everything hangs on install. tried many different OS's and such. even reinstalled Virtualbox.

i doubt it's a  hardware virtualization  issue, rather a software one

 

you will need to post DETAILED descriptions on how virtual box (and which build) is configured and the vm creation steps/error msg's
