I just bought this computer with ASUS Z97-E motherboard and Intel i7 4790k. I really would like to enable hardware virtualization so I can use install 64-bit OS as my guest machine.
The problem is, every time when I turn on virtualization in BIOS settings, save and exit. The machine will shutdown. LEDs flash for a few times and the machine boots up with information "power surge detected, press F1 to enter settings". It seems like the C.P.R is automatically invoked.
UPDATE: I guess it has nothing to do with power surge. I tried to disable the power surge detection in BIOS, and made sure it is disabled. Then I restart my computer with VT-x set, it still automatically shutdown, turn-on for half second, shutdown again, turn-on and flash, shutdown again(repeating this for several times), then the power came on asking me to enter BIOS setting and I can see the settings are reset back to default with no VT-x and power-surge detection on again. Is this the problem of motherboard, or CPU? Only this option(VT-x) is troublesome.
Is there anyone having this issue? What could be the possible cause? CPU? Motherboard? Power supply?
