Important Step After Enabling Virtualization in BIOS

[icenine]

After you save your settings please follow this important step below in order for VT to work properly.

1. Enable VT in bios (where the option is, depends on your MoBo manufacturer)
2. Save BIOS Settings
3. Exit BIOS
4. Shut Down PC (some PC's will shut down automatically for about 3-4 seconds when you save the BIOS. Some will NOT)
5. Leave PC off for about 5-10 seconds
6. Boot PC

you should be all set.
I think this should save a lot of the posts where folk have enabled VT in their bios but it is still not working.

sticky maybe?

But what is VT? I didn't see anything like that in my BIOS at all. I enabled virtualization saved and exited.

Is VT an Intel only feature?

Intel Processors = Intel Virtualization Technology for x86 (Intel VT-x)
AMD Processors = AMD virtualization (AMD-V)

 

[Corpsecrank]

I never did find anything else in the bios that could be related to virtualization. It has one option to enable or disable and it is simply called virtualization not AMD-V or any of that.

Still can somebody explain exactly what Vt is and what it does?

You may have a bad BIOS battery. Mine went bad a while ago and I popped off to Radio Shack for a new one. Installed, powered system up, left it one for a couple of hours, powered off, made BIOS settings, rebooted and then they stuck...

man i changed my bios battery but now the server does not boot at all.only the fans are turned on but no screen at all. even i tried replacing the old battery but i'm still having the same issue.the server is not booting any ideas why i'm having this problem. thanks in advance

Time to consult google i'm afraid.

If it died before replacing the battery, than it sounds like you
have a deeper issue than a bettery issue (not preserving BIOS settings
across a power down/powerup). If it's an OEM system contact the
manufacturer. If it's a DIY system, start googling the MB and see if there
are others with similar issues.

If it happened after a battery change, note that once you swap out the
battery, all BIOS settings are lost and you have to set them back up
again. OEM systems only have a few settings, but DIY motherboards will
have many more settings. Don't forget, the date also is lost.

Can you get into the BIOS at all?

Lastly, please fill out your system specs in your profile. That will
answer many questions others might have about your system.

Since it's a Xeon - can one assume you didn't build it, but bought it
frm a OEM (like Dell or HP)?

Since only the fans come on, are the fans plugged into the MB or off
the pwer supply? Do all fans come on including the CPU fan or
is it only case fans? Did you verify that the battery is the same
size (voltage) as the old one? Have you thoughht of swammping
the new battery with the old one to see if it boots?

i just cannot find any things like AMD virtualization (AMD-V) function in my BIOS, even i look through the MB menu few times, i still cannot find where to enable this function, will there be any chance that my MB do not have this function?? can anyone help my to clarify this matter to see whether my MB have this function and how to enable it?? my MB is magic-pro MP-AKX Extreme and my CPU is AMD Phenom II 945, thanks everyone~
