Like @Sue, I just finished setting up of the Quickstart VM to see if I would run into the same issue. In my case I am using a Macbook Pro running OS X El Capitan. I mostly followed the How to setup Cloudera Quickstart Virtual Machine article to make sure I made no mistakes. I downloaded the newest version of VirtualBox 5.0.24 r108355 and the newest Quickstart VM (CDH 5.7) for VirtualBox from the Cloudera Website. In my case I did deviate from the artical's tip to use a download manager and instead downloaded using the Chrome browser only. Since I have a pretty quick Internet connection the download took less than 10 minutes. I unzipped the file with OS X's Archive utility and then opened Virtualbox.
Once VirtualBox was open I again followed the article instructions and used the “File -> Import Appliance” menu inside VirtualBox to open the downloaded *.ovf file. I chose to use the default settings rather than using expert mode and after the setup was complete I booted the VM. After a few minutes I was greeted with the Welcome screen in the VM without any issues.
If you have already checked the common issues lin the article, I think the problem is going to be one of two things. There could be an issue with VirtualBox on your machine which I would suggest checking their forums to see if they have any suggestions. The other option is a corrupted download which can be resolved by downloading the Quickstart VM again.
