I searched for the solution but i could not get proper solution at one place. So i thought to make one post about this.That is in front of you --->
Few Steps you need to follow -->

Notice: This settings and images are from LENOVO SL400 having intel core2 duo processor. Your settings may slightly differ from this. 

  • Does your processor supports 64-bit hardware virtualization or not, for that see your processor documentation. (see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests ).
  • If it supports then go in bios setting and enable it by using following steps(Lenovo SL 400, it may vary in others):
      • Restart your PC, open bios setting by pressing F1 or F2.
      • Go to Security->Prevention execution -> disable.
      • Next go to CPU -> Intel(R) Virtualization Tech  -> enable.
      • Again go to Security -> Prevention execution -> enable .
      • Now restart your system and open Virtual box, look on the bottom if it's showing amd-v and vt-x is enabled then it's done if not then keep your system turned off for few minutes then restart it.
  • Now install your operating system in virtual box by selecting a 64-bit operating system for the particular VM.
