I get this error report:

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot.

I am on Ubuntu 16.04

Is AMD-V enabled in your UEFI? The option can be found under "Advanced\CPU Configuration". Below is a screen capture of my UEFI for reference.

You have to turn on SVM in the BIOS.

Thanks I didn't think that it would be turned off by default.
