Hello there,

So far, I have checked that your cpu supports Virtualisation.

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLBBL http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLBBLhttp://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLANV http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLANV

Now for the motherboard, i know that all the boards with 5000 Chipset support Virtualisation.

This can be confirmed from the website below:

I will advise you to update the bios and bmc firmware to the latest one using a USB Dos Bootable Pen Drive.
