Not good news I'm afraid, that's a hard VM crash. But it could be hopefully resolved.
00:00:02.597490 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is not available
And this is why you crash. You need to enable virtualization in your host's BIOS, or make sure that nothing else is using exclusively the hardware virtualization features, like Hyper-V, other virtualizers, antivirus, emulators, debuggers, etc.

However,
00:00:03.181086 Full Name: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU B960 @ 2.20GHz"
your Intel Pentium B960 does not support VT-x, does not support hardware virtualization. Your hardware is getting old for that kind of operations...

So, you can't run this VM as is. Your best bet would be to try something from the 4.3.x series, the 5.0.x series or the 5.1.x series. The higher the VirtualBox version, the more dependent it is on the existence of VT-x, as the "raw mode" will be getting phased out over time.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
