Ubuntu 64-bit stuck on the purple loading screen on VM
I am currently using a 64-bit PC, with Windows 7 Ultimate as the host OS. and Ubuntu 64-bit as the guest operating system. I have assigned 1024 MB of RAM to the guest and 100% CPU power is available. After installing from the iso file, it prompted me to reboot the VM, which I did. However, it is now stuck on the purple loading screen for a total of 15 minutes already, and it isn't frozen. The OS refuses to eject the iso file when I prompted it to do so via the VirtualBox command. What is the problem and how to I fix it?

Do you have virtualization enabled in "BIOS" (and does your CPU support it) ? Ir not, VirtualBox can only run 32-bit os's.

Several paths to look into:
- Increasing the number of processors in the settings of the mentioned machine (Right-click on the machine -> Settings -> System -> then the Processor tab).
- Increasing the Video Memory in the Display in the Settings interface.
- Turning off "Enable 3D Acceleration".
- Is hardware virtualization enabled in the BIOS settings?
