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 this problem when I selected too much RAM in the Advanced Options when setting up the emulator. Selecting the default amount of RAM fixed the issue for me.

Answer 2

It occurs because your pc's hardware does not support it. Change the Graphics in AVD Manager to Software GLES2.0, but it will still take forever to start the Emulator. You can always opt for 3rd party emulators such as Genymotion.

Answer 3

I had this problem occur after using the same emulator for a while with no issues. What solved it for me was in AVD Manager > Actions select:

1) Wipe data

2) Cold boot.
