Intel VT-x won't enable

My issue is, I have difficulty on enabling the "Intel Virtualization Technology". I've read some advise here that disabling/uninstalling "Hyper-V" from Windows features will fixed the issue but no lock. My Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 Processor 3.4 GHz RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 GPU: Zotac GTX 1050 Ti 4G MoBo: ASRock H61m-HG4 PSU: Seasonic X-650 80PLUS Gold 650watts Storage: 2 x 1TB SATA WD Blue OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Did you enable Intel Virtualization Technology in the CPU Configuration screen, and VT-d in the Northbridge Configuration screen?

Are you sure you don't have an i7-3770K ?

Yes, i have a NON-K i7.

Perfect way to test it wardog, why didn't I think of that...

How did you check that VT-d is not compatible? What is telling you that?

Intel specs say the H61 chipset does not support VT-d:

But then I found a list of Intel manufactured mother boards that support virtualization, which includes models with the H61 chipset:

So the Intel specs contradict themselves.

There are two options in your new board's BIOS to enable virtualization, one which will not be displayed unless the processor supports it. There seems to be another reason besides lack of support from the hardware for VT-d.

What BIOS version do you have now?

Question for you, did you just move your Windows 7 OS installation drive from the old board to the new one? Or did you install Windows 7 fresh with the new board? I'm sure you had to activate Windows again after changing boards.

Have you installed the basic Intel chipset INF files, and the IME software for your new board?

Ok,  I already uninstalled "Hyper-V" in window features long ago with my late H61M-K motherboard.
I'm using "Piriform Speccy" to verify if "Intel Virtualization Technology" is enable/disable.
I just learned that to make a H61 chipset to support VT-d is depends on the motherboard munufacturers (ASUS for example).
It make sense to me now that H61 chipset is originally not supported VT-d.
Well, thats be it. I gonna save some funding for an upgrade. I just can't let go an i7 even its only 3rd Gen.
