Those log files do not look correct. VBoxStartup is not required, since you don't have a problem starting the VM (only the guest OS). It would help if you compressed such large files before attaching them (e.g. zip them).

In the VBox.log file, one huge problem is immediately apparant :-
VBox.log wrote: 00:00:02.154197 Host RAM: 5117MB total, 199MB available
This is not enough available memory for most VMs.
