VMs always Abort upon start

Hello all,

I recently installed the latest version of VirtualBox (5.02) on a Windows 7 x64.

I tried creating a VM with Ubuntu, another one with Arch Linux and another with Windows 7. Even before installing the operating system on them, whenever I start the machine, the VM window appears for about 5 seconds (extremely small) and then closes and I get an "Aborted" message on the VM. Again, this happens even before I install anything on the VM. I'm simply trying to launch it and boot from an ISO (happens without an ISO as well).

If I start it in headless start, everything works great. I can install the OS, start the OS and do everything else. I was under the impression that there shouldn't be a GUI in headless mode, but for me, the VM boots with a GUI in headless start.

When I try to start it normally again, it gets aborted right from the start. I tried reinstalling VirtualBox, but it didn't help.

Thanks for any help!
