My Intel based Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H was set up to "Legacy only", but Virtualbox always worked. One fine day I experienced issues when booting a Linux from bare metal, while non of my Linux multi-boot machine's Linux installs is set up for UEFI usage, and FWIW all of my internal SSDs, as well as the external USB HDD backup drives are using MBR. However, I migrated from the "Legacy only" setting to "UEFI and Legacy" and got rid of the bizarre boot issues.
