Can't PXE boot Windows 8.1

Hello people of the Internet.

So I've been trying to deploy Windows 8.1 using WDS (duh), and I have encountered a problem.
For starters I'll tell you that I'm trying to do this in Oracle VirtualBox. I have created Windows Server 2012 R2 VM, installed and configured all necessary services and tools and created custom Windows 8.1 image.

Now, when I run my client (which is also a VM) to boot from network all is working as it should, but when I select an OS It starts loading files for a sec and then it stops, and i get this error message:

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause....
Status: 0xc0000001
Info: A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.

I've been pulling my hair out for the past 13 hours trying to find a solution.
Any help would be much appreciated.
