I have virtualbox setup as per the wiki and the program itself works but every time I try to boot up the guest OS so that I can install Windows XP it freezes, no POST or anything, just a black box that I eventually have to kill via the command line. I tried creating a new configuration because I messed with the setting on the initial one but that didn't help, I also launched it as root and that didn't make a different either. Any Ideas?

did you install XP or use an image created by vmware-converter or something? When I imaged XP, the boot process would hang until I toggled some of the settings in VirtualBox
What I have now is:
Settings > System > Motherboard | Enable IO APIC (enabled) (nothing else enabled)
Settings > System > Processor | Enable PAE (unchecked)
No guarantee that will work for you, but it might be worth toggling them and retesting
Also, I booted into safe mode each time and it told me where in the boot process it was stopping

I tried those, tried recreating a new VM, tried placing the VDI on my ext4 partiton instead of my NTFS partition, tried making it so that it only boots the ISO image and not the HDD, and what feels like everything else under the sun. Nothing seems to help I'm still stuck at the frozen screen.

if you boot in safe mode, does it tell you what it's hanging on?

I cant even get that far since I can't even get it to boot far enough to install the OS! I hit "start" in virtualbox it opens up the VM window and it freezes as soon as it opens.
