CPU Hacking (Or enabling Intel VT-x Without BIOS Support)

This is for Intel CPU's only. I have not yet found out a way to enable virtualization on AMD CPU's yet as I don't have any AMD CPU's.

Find me on other platforms:

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: If you get any values other than those posted in this video when reading the registers, they are invalid and can not be changed, as invalid settings will also lock the CPU. There is nothing I can do. Also, I am not going to help you hack into your BIOS from your possibly stolen machine.

I got 1 ... :( Is there any way I can run Windows in Virtual box ? cause Task manager says: "Hyper-V support: yes" but "Virtualization: Disabled"

[forcemaster]

Ok, so something strange happened to me. Just for the record, using the systeminfo command in windows prompt showed that my pc allowed virtualization and that it was enabled. I tried enabling vt-x using cryatal cpuid, I got 1, just like everyone else. I then decided to dual boot to ubuntu, and installed kvm (the linux equivalent of haxm) and android studio. The installation was successful in ubuntu, and I could run android studio emulator with hardware acceleration, after a bit of tinkering. Then on a hunch I tried the crystal cpuid in windows again, and this time the value for 0x3a was 5 before changing anything. I then successfully installed haxm, and now my android studio emulator runs with hardware acceleration. It was strange, but in a good way, so I guess any folks out still struggling with the same problem could try it too

I need to enable this VT for android emulator. But i forgot my BIOS Password, and I don’t quite able to resetting my BIOS by unplugging the CMOS, well not now.

But then i found your video, i never thought i could enable it without enter the BIOS.

Great video man, simple instructions and clear information!

Very interesting!
Windows 10 with Hyper-V feature enabled on Macbook Pro 2015 here. In my case, MSR 0x3a is initially 0x04. And TaskManager says Virtualization is disabled, and Hyper-V support is yes.
After changing MSR 0x3a to 0x05 followed by rebooting, MSR 0x3a reads back as 0x01. However, TaskManager says Virtualization is enabled, and the Hyper-V line disappeared. The same thing happens after rebooting to Windows from macOS.

If I put something wrong (for example, I put a number wrong), if I restart the PC, everything will be good, right?

The bios has this feature but i cant click f12 cuz its not working in my keyboard and im quarantined to buy a new one

[supersonic]

can it worked in asus h110m-k motherboard,
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz intel cpu . 4 cores . please reply me .

[gool]

Wtf? It's already set to 5 but when I try going to memu which does need the virtualization it's still saying its disabled

[noluthandomothibe]

Hy bro i hope you can help me here. Mine is 01 at the end and i cant seem to enable VT from bios. I use a thinkcentre m91p with the processor intel(R) core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz

[gourabmahapatra]

on my computer it is an old hp-compaq business desktop pc and it was having a pentium dual core processor initially but I upgrade the cpu to core 2 quad and the chipset is intel G31/33 class and the bios is of pheonix -> the issue is that the cpu supports the vt-x and is also enable and locked but on the bios there is no option for enabling it
I checked the video and tried to read the msr of all the 4 cores of the cpu coz its a quad core processor and all were having '5' at 0x3a regsiters, i read the msr for each of that
now, I want to run virtual box on my machine but it says that virtual machine not supported on the system
please help !

[snexi]

i get 0x00001, so that mean i can only change it in the bios settings? ... my enter key is broken, i cant save changes at :/

[oussama]

i got a read msr of 0x00040001 (looked it up no idea what it means)
tried to read it into pc dosent crash or any kind of error but nothing works it dosent rewrite when i try to write it any help would be great

[go_rogue_og]

I still have even after [WRMSR] to 0x05, still when i have when i press [RDMSR]. I have AMD-V, Not VT-x.

[Wojtegg]

i have xeon 5460. In bios i can see VT-x is enabled and locked also i saw it in cpuid as numer "5" but every software tells me i have it disabled. Firstly i thought its win 8 fault bcs i think in microsoft nobody carres about this OS, but when i tried to install other OS ( tried with win 10 and win server 2012) i ve got error which means i dont have VT-x what can i do?

Hey, hope you can help me. When I disable Virtualization Technology in BIOS, Task Manager show "Virtualization: Disabled, Hyper-V support: Yes", but "Intel Processor Identification Utility" app show "Intel Virtualization Technology and Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables" (there is not X icon but OK icon)... and when I enable Virtual Technology in BIOS ... Task Manager show "Virtualization: Enabled" and Intel Processor Identification Utility show X icon ... when I check with MSR Editor I got result for EAX on both try Enabled/Disabled in BIOS. How can I fix it? Thank you for answer. # Intel Core i7 960
