Put VB into Win 8.1 x64 mode and run it with 3d graphics with max graphics memory. Use the x64 installer.

I used the x64 iso. I don't see why you would download the 32 bit one. Try Win 8.1 x86 then...

edited the other post, but i downloaded 32 bit first since it was smaller and that spare pc has a sandy bridge pentium whit less that 4gb of ram, so i though the 32 bit iso would work on the vm but it doesn't even changing what you told me :/

Have you tried temporarily disabling your anti-virus software(s) and try to boot it with the network adapter disabled?

download x64 iso and then tell virtualbox its windows 8.1 64bit and make it use more VRAM. I used the x64 iso on VmWare and it worked perfectly so maybe try VmWare?
