Post a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Re: Kali freezes when being turned on.
First problem is RAM over commitment. You are assigning more memory than is available.00:00:01.784119 Host RAM: 4095MB total, 1625MB available
00:00:02.359905 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000075100000 (1 963 982 848, 1 873 MB)
This shows you shut it off at just over 13 seconds. Hardly enough time given the memory issue.00:00:13.505621 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDED' to 'POWERING_OFF'

And it will never start until you free up some memory on the host. You can see this by looking at the top part of the log, so until you can produce a log that shows you have ample available memory to support a guest, there is not need in replying.

Re: Kali freezes when being turned on.
You probably still have memory overcommitment. The rule of thumb is that you can use 50% of available host RAM for the VM. It should not be marginal. Either add more RAM to your host, or get used to shutting stuff down if you want to run this VM, or give the VM substantially less RAM e.g. 512MB.
I'm also concerned at the small amount of display RAM you're giving the VM: 14MB is a very small VRAM allocation, this alone could affect performance.
