[SOLVED] Trouble running windows in VirtualBox under Arch x64

Been trying to run the windows 10 preview in virtualbox, but it's giving me error code 0x0000005D, which google says is the error that shows up if AMD-V and AMD NX aren't enabled. However /proc/cpuinfo shows that the 'nx' and 'svm' flags are both supported by my CPU, and there is no BIOS setting for either of them in my stupid gigabyte uefi bios. Is there some way to enable these flags without changing bios settings? I tried adding noexec=on and noexec32=on to my kernel line but that didn't do anything.

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently I did already have them enabled and all I had to do was change the OS type in Virtualbox to windows 8.1 instead of "windows other". Leaving this up in case anyone else has the same problem.
