I'm running CentOS 7 64bit Minimal as a virtual Machine inside of Parallels.
I've installed VirtualBox.5.0-5 with the approriate extpack.
I am able to open phpvirtualbox, but it only gives me the options to select the 32bit install when creating a new VM.
I want to install CentOS 7 DVD. phpvirtualbox allows for me to get as far as creating and starting the vm, and even boot to the initial set-up interface, but upon pressing install it stalls at black.
I have read that similar problems have been resolved by enabling a Bios setting related to enabling/disabling Hypervisor settings.
I don't know where to go from here since I haven't been able to find options for BIOS management for CentOS.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You need to set the BIOS of your Host machine (not the guest). Look for an option that is something like "virtualization" or "hypervisor" or some other similar language. Sometimes depending on the BIOS there may be two settings related to virtualization (set them both if that is the case). CentOS 7 only comes in 64 bit starting with version 7 so you'll need to get that BIOS opton set. You can't install Cent7 without having the 64 bit opton available in Virtualbox. Once you get it set correctly in BIOS the 64 bit option will become available to you.(no extra configuration needed.) FYI- CentOS version 6 you could still run as 32 bit.
