The log file ends when you kill the process. The last entries show the graphics initialisation.
You seem to be running a older version (382.33) of the Nvidia graphics driver, the current version 384.94 could be worth a try.
Also you are assigning all four of your physical CPU cores to the guest, leaving nothing to the host to handle the VM. You should try reducing the guest to 2-3 vCPU.

I tried your recommendations now running off 2 cores instead of all 4 also capped them 2 cores at 90% i updated my graphics driver to the newest and i gave my host a little more RAM which the VM does seem to be a bit smoother. about 17 min into it this morning it randomly froze. anymore suggestions?

When it freezes, close the VM, close VirtualBox and make sure that there are no VBox*, VM*, Virtual* processes running. You may have to wait a little bit for the VBoxSVC process to quit. If they don't, reboot your computer. Then launch VirtualBox and save the VBox.log file. ZIP it and attach it here.

Sorry for the late reply. You have the following right at the beginning of your VBox.log:
00:00:07.612095 supR3HardenedErrorV: supR3HardenedMonitor_LdrLoadDll:
                rejecting 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvapi64.dll' (C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvapi64.dll): rcNt=0xc0000190
That looks like a problem with your Nvidia driver again. Probably...
But, the other thing that I noticed was how the log ended; the network getting multiple times an address, but with a lot of time in between them. Note the times:
00:02:07.803103 NAT: DHCP offered IP address 10.0.3.15
00:05:02.707469 NAT: DHCP offered IP address 10.0.3.15
00:06:32.330962 NAT: DHCP offered IP address 10.0.3.15
00:07:54.671555 NAT: DHCP offered IP address 10.0.3.15
00:10:08.616828 NAT: DHCP offered IP address 10.0.3.15
00:11:45.905250 NAT: DHCP offered IP address 10.0.3.15
00:32:54.466704 NAT: DHCP offered IP address 10.0.3.15
So, a couple of suggestion. One, disable 3D acceleration, and two disable networking. Oh, I shouldn't forget to tell you to disable the audio, there's a potential bug with 5.1.26. See which one works (hopefully something will) and report back...
