Try reverting to VirtualBox 4.3.12 (uninstall the current version first).

In that case, please provide Minimum information needed for assistance. Specifically, a single VM log file showing you getting the above error when running 4.3.12.

Excellent, but that isn't what I asked for. Please read I what posted, read also the link, and provide the information requested. I need to see a VM log file which shows you getting the above error after to reverted to 4.3.12, since I found that result quite surprising.
