Why such an old version of VirtualBox? That version came out 5 years ago and is no longer supported. You need to attach the VBox.log
OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests
There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

That does not fulfil the requirements of Minimum information needed for assistance. In particular please attach a VM log file, zipped.

And be warned that using such an old version of VirtualBox may complicate support, in fact 3.0.2 is almost 5 years old and officially no longer supported at all.
