Your cpu usage is extremely high.  I am running on the same software 
and not seeing this but my windows 8 vm only has 1CPU.  I am also on 
extremely similar hardware.  What happens if you change it to 1 CPU 
instead of 4?  I'm not saying that this shouldn't work but want to 
understand what options you are using that might not be working 
correctly on FreeBSD.

00:00:02.219999   NumCPUs         <integer> = 0x0000000000000004 (4)

I also note I have PAE enabled whereas your VM does not:

00:00:02.219999   EnablePAE       <integer> = 0x0000000000000000 (0)

I don't have hardware virtualization forced while you do:

00:00:02.219999   HwVirtExtForced <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)
