Hypervisor not running error in AMD processor PC

jindoman — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:33:45 GMT

I have windows 2008 R2 server running on HP Pavilion HPE H8-1210 with AMD FX-6100 processor (six core).

I have enabled Virtualization and DPE options from BIOS.

I also have set the "nx" option to be "AlwaysOn" from BCD, and the hypervisor start option has been set to "Auto".

Hyper-V was successfully installed, but I cannot start any of the virtual machines, because I'm getting the error message: "The virtual machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running."

Any idea what may be wrong?

Hi,

I suggest to check if the system is compatible with Hyper-V, there is an tool released by AMD to check on the same which is called "AMD Virtualization™ Technology and Microsoft® Hyper-V™ System Compatibility Check Utility." unfortunately download link does not show any file.

I request to check if the HP Support Team or Microsoft Support Team could provide the tool.

Thanks,
