You're definitely on the right track - install the updated BIOS though, even if it seems like a pain in the ass. Have you tried pretty much the exact steps from the linked article? I know it's not for your specific model of board but Gigabyte boards are much of a muchness so yours _probably_ has an identical or near identical set of steps to follow. Looking at the manual for your board the BIOS/UEFI really does seem a bit... well, frustrating I guess. Presuming those screenshots are even accurate in the first place. It looks like you need to head to MIT > Advanced CPU Core Settings and SVM is buried under there. From page 22 of your manual: "Virtualization enhanced by Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems. (Default: Disabled)" Note disabled by default. If I was you I'd dig through the rest of the settings until you find the IOMMU setting and toggle that to ON/ENABLED or whatever rather than optional, auto, or disabled as well. Flash the BIOS first though, it'll reset everything to default and you'll have to redo the work! I don't _think_ that you have any hidden menus or anything to activate as it were - they are probably hiding in plain sight right in front of you, just several sub menus deep. Good luck :] PS: http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Manual/mb_mamual_ga-ax370m-gaming3_e.pdf [SVM stuff is page 22-23] -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
