Why "Hyper-V Platform" feature is disabled?

I tried to enable Hyper-v feature in Windows 8 Pro,

but "Hyper-V Platform feature is Disabled" ...

I get this message: hyper-v cannot be installed the processor does not have required virtualization capabilities

my processor : Core i7-3630QM

and this information by "systeminfo"

Hyper-V Requirements: VM Monitor Mode Extensions: No
                      Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: Yes
                      Second Level Address Translation: Yes
                      Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes

What problem is my computer does not support this feature?

Hyper-V Requirements: VM Monitor Mode Extensions: No Seems like it's this one. Are you running VMware as well? – ta.speot.is – 2013-03-31T20:34:12.880

No, VMware is not installed on my computer. – ScottJeffry – 2013-03-31T20:42:44.820

In Microsoft website: They say only Hardware requirements: has Second Level Address Translation

Perhaps http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3190.hyper-v-how-to-fix-bios-errors-enabling-hyper-v.aspx although I'm not sure the information is correct.

1Your CPU should support VM Monitor Mode Extensions (called VT-x on Intel CPUs). Check your BIOS settings, it is probably disabled there. It might not explicitly be called VT-x though... – Sander Steffann – 2013-03-31T21:02:04.957

yes in My BIOS settings: "Intel Virtualization Technology" (VT-x) is enabled – ScottJeffry – 2013-03-31T21:18:55.497

in CPU-Z "Instructions" I have: "MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4, SSE4.2, EM64T, VT-x, AES, AVX" – ScottJeffry – 2013-03-31T21:30:18.810

Thank you very much all ...The issue is resolved but..I don't know what I did exactly! thank you "ta.speot.is" and "Sander Steffann" – ScottJeffry – 2013-03-31T21:40:51.043
