Check your particular virtual machine settings in VirtualBox's VM
Manager -- System -> Acceleration -- that both hardware accelerations
options, VT-x/AMD-V and Nested Paging, are enabled. If they are
already enabled, check your motherboard BIOS' CPU settings for
similar options.
Now download and read/study VirtualBox's VERY complete user manual.
