You'd be better posting on the virtualbox forum, it's more specific to your question.

Retry by removing all optimization in virtual machine configuration.
And have a look in the BIOS to check if specific AMD instruction for virtualization are not disabled.
AMD-V is the name of the set of virtualization instruction for AMD (including virtual IO-port, ...).
I can't check as I have an Intel processor (in fact, I have the single Intel Quad-Core which doesn't virtualization!).
