First, validate that you have virtualization enabled in your BIOS. On Linux run `lscpu`, or `grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo`, and check the output. If you're on Windows go to Task Manager > Performance > Processor and check whether Virtualization says Enabled.
If it is enabled, it should work just fine; otherwise, go to your BIOS and enable it. As a dirty fix, you can try going to VirtualBox settings > System > Acceleration and uncheck the Enable VT-x/AMD-V option.
