Android emulator keeps on crashing

Question

Whenever I open the AVD Manager and launch any one of the virtual devices I created, the emulator starts and closes immediately. When I run the virtual device in AVD Manager for the first time I get an error message that QEMU has stopped working.

I have given the right path to the JDK. More over, I have tried to install Android Studio again and again, but still its not working. I am using Windows 7(32 bit, 2GB RAM, without graphic card).

Is there need of graphic card to run emulator? If not, what should I do the run the emulator?

Answer 1

In AVD manager open settings for your virtual device.

In the Emulated Performance section open the dropdown for Graphics.

Change it from Automatic to Software.

Hit the Finish button to save new setting and try starting the emulator again.
