Disabling USB2 fixed it! Strange yet true.
If you haven't done so already, increase the amount of ram (and number of cpus) available to Virtualbox/windows, if you'd like faster performance, especially now that you probably have a core i5 and DDR3 16GB. It should run quite nicely now.
Congrats on the new hardware btw.

More likely when you updated your BIOS to turn off USB2 (why?) you or the update program also changed other things, in particular turning on VT-x support, which is not activated by default, assuming / guessing you have an AMD CPU motherboard because you've never been a fan of intel CPUs in the vintage world.. Try turning USB2 support back on and make note of the other settings just in case, no need to disable USB 2 support as this will cause issues with older devices. It will not hurt anything to try as long as you make sure that you only make that one change. -- -Bill-
