This is the error that you're getting.
00:00:08.813714 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes
00:00:09.636303 Full Name: "Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G2030 @ 3.00GHz"
And this is "why" you're getting that error. You will need to address/fix the VT-x availablity. Your Pentium G2030 (suprisingly) supports VT-x, so it's a matter of enabling it in the BIOS. See your PC's manufacturer help on how to do this. Also, make sure that nothing else has an exclusive hold on the VT-x.

Also, consider changing your favorite internet search engine. There should be plenty of results about this on these forums (especially about Kali), but the search engine you're using now, does not seem to return any results for some reason.

You have allocated memory to the guest that you don't have available on the host. Your options are: a) allocate less memory to the guest, b) close some applications on the host, or c) buy some more memory for the host.

EDIT: Stuff about VT-x deleted as someone was faster on the draw!
