I cannot get Kali Linux to load on VB 4.3.24 on Windows

Please help,

For the life of me I cannot get Kali to install on Virtual Box. I have downloaded 1.1.0-amd64 six times and have tried to install it on the current version of Virtual Box 4.3.24. The program keeps crashing when it tries to install the system files. It gets to 4% and then crashes out. I have tried rebuilding the machine several times. I have used both the torrent and the ISO for 64 bit computers. I am running seven other Linux distributions on VB with no issues.

The base system for my computer is
Windows 8.1
4GB RAM
Intell i5 Processor

I am giving the virtual machine the following to run
1GB RAM
2 Processor Cores
100GB HDD Space

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have looked on Google for suggestions on how to fix this issue but what I find is how to install the program on VB which I already know how to do. I am downloading the file directly from the Kail website, so I know the source file is good.

I have used both Download Accelerator Pro to download the ISO file and Bittorrent to download the torrent and I am getting the same results.

Thank you.

Did you make sure that it is not a corrupt download by comparing the SHA1 checksum? Second, post the zipped VBox.log according to: Minimum information needed for assistance. Thirdly, what template did you use to setup Kali?

FWIW, I have now installed Kali 1.1.0 twice and whatever the previous version was twice as well. VB 4.3.24.
