Hi folks, first post and a bit of a conundrum for me.
On odd occations VT-x won’t enable on my desktop and I can’t figure out why apart from age of the machine.
Specs:
Asus maximums III formula / bios updated
Intel I5 750
8 gig DDR3
The usual hard drives / graphics
Running Win10
The issues it’s causing is when I go to run virtualbox. If VT-x is active it runs fine but when it’s not obviously vbox won’t run.
I’ve looked at conflicts, driver issues (grabbing at straws with drivers I know) and even stripped and rebuilt the system (it actually needed it… house dust city)
The only other thing I can think of is the age of the system as it’s now 9 years old and may not be as good as bit once was. And if I remember right the I5 was one of the first chips to have VT-x so maybe it’s not that great on that chip. Iirc, the earlier versions of the I5 didn’t have virtualization on them or it was turned off.
Any help appreciated
