As the title suggests, I have had problems getting VirtualBox to run on my computer. No matter what I do, whenever I start up a VirtualBox session it gives me an error stating that 'VT-x' is disabled on my motherboard. I've gone back into my bios to enable both options in the title numerous times to no effect. I've already made multiple posts about similar problems, and I really don't know where to look from here.

It says on their website that there's a free version, but I can't seem to find a download link. Any help?

Edit: Nevermind, found it.

Turns out the solution is that I have to restart my computer a second time after changing the setting in the bios in order for it to take effect. I would keep force resetting my computer instead of shutting it down normally, which would reset the setting in the bios because it was turning off fastboot for safety reasons.
