The PE840 doesn't support virtualization at the BIOS level. It doesn't have the ability to enable Virtualization Technologies. It is the 9th generation servers that started to support virtualization.
The Dell PDF that nhmiller linked specifically says that the PowerEdge 840 does support hyper-v (and therefor Virtualization Technology. So per that document it does have the ability to enable VT.
As for a rebuild, one option is just to shut down, pull the current drive(s) and put in a blank drive and do a fresh install to see if that then works. If so, you know you'll probably have to reinstall, but if it still doesn't work, you can switch back to the original drive(s) and look into your options.
