Answer 1

if you have avast antivirus installed In Avast antivirus under Settings (parametres) tab > Troubleshooting (depannage), you should uncheck "Enable Hardware-assisted Virtualization" ("activer l'assistance a la virtualisation").

Now restart your computer it should work if not re-install the Intel's HAXM which can be found under ~SDK_LOCATION\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

Answer 2

Also look at your skins - some have found it works with the WVGA800 skin. Others here have found it's due to the high RAM requirements of the Nexus 5 AVD itself. I think Nexus 5 takes almost 1600. Try either decreasing the RAM allocation in the AVD ('Advanced settings') - or reinstall HAXM with a higher RAM limit.

Answer 3

Faced the same issue, I solved by reducing the AVD version. In the AVD manager choose create a lower version e.g. I was using Nexus 5 and created a Nexus 4 which worked well.

If this solves it means you need to upgrade your machine, RAM etc.

Answer 4

I had the same issue that the x86 emulator would hang during startup (black screen, no logo). The answer to my problem had to do with me using Eclipse ADT with an old SDK prior to upgrading to Android Studio on the same computer.

I am running Ubuntu and the configuration files are stored in the .android folder of the home directory, i.e. ~/.android. I saw references to the old SDKs in the config files and deleted the whole folder. After that the x86 emulator started working again.

In hindsight, what gave it away was that when I started using ARM images the emulator worked. I had only used x86 images with qemu in the past.

Answer 5

I have recently the same issue in emulator, Nexus 5 (Android O). I have go to Android Virtual Device Manager and Wipe User Data and it solved my Problem.

Answer 6

I ran into this issue, and what solved it for me was unchecking everything that has to do with snapshots.

I assume that my snapshot was corrupt somehow.

Uncheck loading and saving to snapshots.
