Genymotion and Virtualbox


When I try to open my virtual device from Genymotion it gives me

Unable to start the virtual device.

VirtualBox cannot start the virtual device.

To find out the cause of the problem, start the virtual device from VirtualBox.

And from VirtualBox :

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Samsung Galaxy S5 - 4.4.4 - API 19 - 1080x1920.

VT-x is disabled in the BIOS. (VERR_VMX_MSR_VMXON_DISABLED).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}


Solution

  • You have to enable your Virtual Technology (VT-x) under CPU feature in side BIOS.By default it is disabled so you have to enable it by using BIOS setting.
