You are assigning more memory to the VM than you have availble on your host, this will not work.
Also, don't expect Windows 7 to work good unless you give it 1024 Mb RAM.

Either free some RAM or get some.

Win8-32bit recommended minimum RAM is 4GB, specified min is 1GB. Win7 has similar requirements. Attempting to run both at once in 1GB is a no hoper.
