error message “qemu-system-i386.exe has stopped working”

Question

I am using windows 7 with 4GB of RAM and I\'m using the latest version of android studio 2.2.3 and I am getting this message when I run the emulator

Answer 1

I had the same issue solved it by changing the Emulated Performance to Software GLES-2.0,I saw previous post and tried using Host GPU but since that option is not available in my Android Studio(2.2.3). I tried this and it worked

Answer 2

My emulator was working perfectly, then suddenly it started giving the same problem. So, I tried some methods, and one of them worked. I am mentioning from less to more (timewise) solutions. They are:

1. In AVD Edit -> change the Emulated Performance to Software GLES 2.0. (This dint work for me, but for some it can work).

2. Go to Control Panel -> H/W and Sounds -> Device Manager -> Display adapter -> Your Display Driver -> Right click and update it. (This worked for me and got the emulator running nicely).

3. In AVD Manager -> In your AVD change resolution to 800x600 and reduce RAM size to 512 MB or less. (Would have tried this solution next). emulator-x86.exe has stopped working

4. Try creating a new AVD which consumes less memory and resolution.

Answer 3

Win7, makes me wonder if you have a compatible processor. The first requirement for qemu-system is Intel® processor with support for Intel® VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality.

I get this message when the "Memory and Storage RAM: is set to low. The message went way when I upped it to 6gigs. I still get the "Processing System has stopped" message, but this doesn't stop the emulator from loading. I also get the Google Play has stopped, but this too goes away after a bit and my app loads. It takes around 20 minutes for the emulator to finish and load my app.

I suggest you start with the smallest Device with the lowest screen resolution, like the NEXUS S 480x800. I tried several solutions from this site, none made a difference till I tried the opposite of one solution, that was to up the memory for the emulator.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

I am on Windows 7 X64, 4gb of RAM with dual core. Studio 2.3.3 I'll avoid studio emulator, Rather go with CMD.

You will get the ERROR why qemu-system-i386.exe has stopped working

My ERROR:

emulator: ERROR: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, use '-gpu off' to disable it.

then USE command:

emulator.exe @YourAVDName -gpu off

Answer 5

This Worked for me.

./emulator -avd <your AVD Name> -gpu off

Refer to see the type of error I got and that highlighted command resolved the problem

Answer 6

It was solved when I wiped the emulator data.

Go to AVD Manager, click on the arrow next to your device and select wipe data:
