Cent OS not supporting AMD Processor

Question

I am facing issue while installing centOS in the oracle virtual box.

The processor i am using is AMD A8, 6410.

Can you assist in the solving the issue by suggesting any lower versions of centOS which supports my processor.

The issue has been attached.

Which Ubuntu release are you running? All that's saying that you need to get the 32bit version of the OS instead of the 64bit. — Mitch, Jul 05 '17 at 05:02

It's a mismatch of 32b & 64b versions.

Probably 2 reasons,

Your Processor does not support 64-bit OS, and you are trying to install 64-bit version CentOS in your virtual box[but in your case your processor supports 64b architecture].
Your HOST OS may be 32-bit, and you are trying to install 64-bit OS in virtual box.

Check the host OS is 32b or 64b, most probably if you install a 32-bit version of CentOS the problem be resolved.
