Have you tryed VMware?

but you can only save one snapshot at a time unless you can find a way to bypass it

I'm not sure about that, i have VirtualBox now but before, i been with VMware and that was working great with good snapshoots (unlimited) but not sure..

@nsm0220 You didn't reply to my question: "Are you trying to install 64bit guest?"
but anyways what is your processor? and how much cores it has?

Try to change the number of CPUs to 1.

Hope you can sort your problem out soon.

if Virtualbox was working fine and you updated Virtualbox lately it could be a bad update
install or something is wrong with the version of Virtualbox you are using and you found
a bug

i'v had a bad version update of Virtualbox that act's like this and would not let me install
or run a 64bit OS it would only run a 32bit OS

so i went back to the version of Virtualbox before the update and it worked i could use my
64bit OS again so i let a few updates pass before i tryed again and it worked that new
version was ok

i see someone else saying something like this on the Virtualbox forums

Problem using virtualbox

https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=60866

an easy way to check if AMD-v is turned in the BIOS is try this

Microsoft® Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool

The Hardware-assisted virtualization (HAV) detection tool checks
if the computer processor supports HAV and if this setting is enabled.

This the error occur after an VBox update, changes to your PC or VM settings? What version of VirtualBox are you using?

4.3.10 and the error happen before the update and doing the old version as well

 

[nsm0220]

going to an old version don't work as well

No idea on what the issue could be, have you browsed the VirtualBox Support Forums for anyone with similar issues?

Also I asked, have you made any changes to your PC or VM settings? As from experience moving VM data files around can cause problems too.

If nothing works, then you can always do a complete uninstall of VBox, delete the VM virtual disks and start from scratch.

@nsm0220 If you decided to use VMware, don't worry about the key I have one for you.
