Permanently stuck Starting VM

[User98763245]

When I create a new OS it's permanently stuck when I try to start it
Attached large image.

I've tried a lot of things to no avail.
I can't even get to the step to select the image for the OS.

My Setup
> Windows 7 Desktop, 64bit, SP1, up to date
> 3 graphics: GTX 650 Ti, GTS 450, 8400 GS
> 4 monitors
> i7 970

Tried
> Restart Windows
> Disable AntiVirus/Firewall
> Uninstall, Reinstall VirtualBox
> Delete \Users\me\.VirtualBox files
> Different settings for the VM including Ubuntu, CentOS, dynamical and fixed space, 512mb ram to 4gb ram, 4mb to 128mb graphics ram
> Formatted Drive I'm installing VB on and the VMs on

> Used an older VirtualBox version: throws this error during installation: Attached small image

> Observations: When VB is stuck I can't shut it down or shut down Windows anymore. Closing or cancelling the windows doesn't work. Killing processes through Task manager has no effect. Shutting down Windows won't complete. Can only reset PC to get a fresh boot.

No idea what to do

Had the exact same issue. Solved by installing older version of VirtualBox.

First I uninstalled my current version. Deleted all vbox folders in the Users(me) directory. This may not have been necessary though...

I created this account just to answer this question so it won't let me post links yet, but the VirtualBox version that worked for me is: 4.3.2 r90405

I got it from filehippo.

Hope this helps.
