Is hardware assisted virtualization (also called VT-x for Intel or SVM for AMD) enabled in your BIOS? Otherwise you won't be able to run 64bit guests in a VM. You can create a simple 32bit guest VM it and get the VBox.log from there so we know what CPU model you use.

Btw. this is most likely a configuration issue which should be handled in https://forums.virtualbox.org first so we can keep the bug tracker for real bugs. There you can get help from many more people too. I'll close this ticket for now in case this turns out to be not a configuration issue but a real bug you can reopen the ticket.
