ASUS M5A78L-MLX Hardware Virtualization

[TheDewde]

Hey guys, I would like to know if it is possible to enable hardware virtualization on the ASUS M5A78L-MLX Motherboard ( says that on my bios screen ).

The reason I would like to know is because I have a program called VMware, which lets you run any operating system on your computer, so I tried running Mac OSX Mountain Lion, but I get the error that I don't have hardware virtualization enabled.

My computer specs if needed -

AMD FX 4100 @ 3.6 GHz
nVidia GeForce GTX 550 ti 1GB
1TB of Hard drive
8GB RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
ASUS M5A78L-MLX Motherboard.

If you're wondering, I did use a program called securable, which tells you if your PC's hardware virtualization is enabled, and it says yes.

So please tell me if I can actually enable it on this motherboard.

Thanks.

That processor supports hardware virtualization, so yes you can enable hardware virtualization.

Okay, thanks for telling me that it supports it, but do you know how to enable it on my PC?

All I have heard that you need to go to the BIOS settings.

Go into the BIOS, click CPU configuration, then change Secure Virtual Machine Mode to enabled.
