"The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the 'poweroff' state. Please verify everything is configured properly and try again.
If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it,
it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the
GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve.
For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run vagrant up while the
VirtualBox GUI is open."
I'm receiving this error when executing 'vagrant up'.
Any ideas??

3,079 PointsI believe this error was caused because I was not allowing Virtualization in my BIOS settings (running Windows 8.1 on a lenovo laptop).
I had to download the new BIOS for my lenovo laptop (download the most recent BIOS update), and then do an advanced startup in order to enable virtualization. I hope this helps if anyone else gets the same error!
Also, 'vagrant up' didn't work initially for me once I figured out my BIOS stuff. I had to run it twice for it to actually connect to the VM.
