Getting the following project status message even after multiple restarts of Boinc and computer for LCH@home 1.0 [CMS simulation 47.6 (vbox64)]: "Postponed: VM Hypervisor failed to enter an online state in a timely fashion". Project stops 9-10 minutes into each attempt.

Win10 64-bit with i5-7200u chip & 8GB RAM; Boinc 7.6.33; VirtualBox 5.0.18
In Boinc prefs, unchecked "Suspend GPU when computer is in use"

Any suggestions on how to get VirtualBox project to run?

VirtualBox 5.0.18 is not compatible with Windows 10 since Anniversary Update. Update to the latest version from VirtualBox's website.

Also make sure VT-x/virtualization is enabled in BIOS.
