This CPU is VT-capable, but VT is not enabled (check your BIOS/firmware settings).

I was trying to run Virtual Machine which contains windows server 2003 R2 64bit using VM workstation 6.0 and I faced the attached two errors :

This CPU is VT-capable, but VT is not enabled (check your BIOS/firmware settings).

AND

Windows could not start because of a general computer hardware configuration problem.
Attempting to load an x64 operating system. however this CPU is not compatible with x64 Mode.
Please install an X86 32-bit operating system.

Resolution:

1. try to check if your processor supporting x64 or not, if it's not supporting x64 then you have to try your VM on another Processor that supports x64.

2. if your processor supports the x64 do the following:

3. restart the server and enter the BIOS setup.

4. check in the advanced options ->Processor Options -> Virtualization Technology

5. you will find it disabled , make it enabled.

6. save your work and try again to run the VM.

Note: the steps above may be differs from BIOS to BIOS but you should follow the same concept.
