I am installing Kali on a 64 Win 7 system, but I set VirtualBox to 32 bit Linux and used 32 bit Kali. It is giving me the following fatal crash:
1:14:13.204155 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01:14:13.204183 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
01:14:13.204439 emR3Debug: rc=VERR_REM_VIRTUAL_CPU_ERROR

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

This is the danger of posting a partial log, the part that you believe is important. A couple of lines above the copy-paste thing that you did, I bet there was a "Guru Medidation" error. This is not good and not easily solvable. Try to downgrade to 4.3.6 and see if it solves it. There were some issues with 4.3.8 that are being worked on.

Next time that you have a problem like this and you're seeking help, try
a) searching the webs (cause there are plenty of similar errors) and
b) Minimum information needed for assistance.
