I just got a new PC which I started using and I'm having trouble with kali linux VM. Now this is weird because I have experience with kali before and I am using this PC to run other VMs. I got an an ISO fitted specifically for virtualbox (32 bit kali) which I found here:
https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/
Whenever I try running it on VirtualBox i get this error: "VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED)."
I went into my BIOS settings (on ASUS motherboard, don't know the exact model but i could look it up real quick and provide it if necessary). I went under Advanced -> CPU Configurations and found Intel VT-x technology. It was greyed out and I couldn't change it but it said it was "Supported" already
I then went under Advanced Settings->System Agent Configuration Settings, and enabled the VT-d function.
Despite both apparently being enabled I am still getting the same problem and it is persisting.
My PC has no problem running a VirtualBox session with Ubuntu Server ISO so it's not an issue with virtualbox itself. This also seems to indicate VT-x is already enabled to begin with as virtualization tech is clearly supported on the PC.
thoughts?
Kindly confirm . Which virtualization machine are you using VMware or VirtualBox?
VirtualBox, it works fine on my laptop (Kali Linux) so I'm thinking maybe virtualization technology is disabled on my PC, I can post the specs here if that'd help.
Dear enable PAE/NX in processor tab of virtual box and see does it work?
unfortunately not. It is already enabled. I tried running Kali in VirtualBox on my laptop and it works fine.
Change virtualization software like Wm Player 12 or WMware. and see the results.
This is usually because VT-x is not enabled in the BIOS or EFI configuration of the host system (your physical computer). You may also need to enable certain host OS features. Please follow these instructions to enable it.

just to add my case because google bring me to here.
My solution was to upgrade vBox, may be kali ova was created with a newer version than the one I had
