Slight arithmetical problem.
VBox.log wrote: 00:00:02.005 Host RAM: 2031MB RAM, available: 928MB
...
00:00:02.061 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000040000000 (1073741824)
You are trying to assign 1GB RAM to the guest, just to use as simulated system RAM (i.e. not counting RAM used as simulated VRAM and general buffers etc). That leaves something like -200MB for the host.

Try 512MB, and maybe also check your task list to see what is hogging all that RAM.
