Answer 1

Use lower specifications for your Android Emulator other than using a host GPU as mentioned by PLG. For details refer to my answer here.

Answer 2

If you have a processor that supports VT-x, EM64T, and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality or in simple terms a core i processor, download intel HAXM android emulator. It is much faster then the default android emulator comes bundled.

Here is the link: Intel HAXM Android EMUALTOR

Answer 3

You may have snapshots enabled, in which case, ensure you are selecting 'Wipe Device' in the device manager when you start it.

I would also suggest you just create a new AVD instance, and start from scratch - this doesn't take very long, and will likely be quicker than trying to debug a failing instance.

Answer 4

If you have issues with AVD, I'd highly encourage to try Genymotion.

Answer 5

If You have a PC/Laptop with less than 4GB RAM the emulator will take some time to start up and it will run very slow. Additionally You can tick a box called Use Host GPU in the Emulation Options while crating a new AVD.
