Android studio 1.x AVD not running?

Question

I'm a newbie android developer ,since i upgraded to Andoid Studio 1.x from beta ,things became a lot easy , creating the AVD and managing SDK is managed better by the IDE now ,

I used the Default Nexus 5 config to setup an AVD,however can you please tell me how to safely turn it off ,I cant find any poweroff button , i have Intel HAXM set up and working fine, I got an error saying AVD instance aldready running etc asking me to delete the avd from user/android/avd/... which i did ,

WHen i created it i can run it just once, when i close and reopen studio and try to run again i get the following message

AVD Nexus_5_API_21 is already running.
If that is not the case, delete the files at
   C:\Users\S****\.android\avd/Nexus_5_API_21.avd/*.lock
and try again

And what system image to use for the AVD, whats the difference between the ARM ,ATOM 86,ATOM 64 and googdle API images for the same android version, i use a windows 8.1 PC 64Bit running on a vt-x suported intel core i5 , 4200 u processor , which image should i use ,

Please Note i couldnt find solutons elsewhere and i doubt its an offtopic question as its about setting up a programming tool. Btw the task manager shows a 32 bit emulator running Thanks!

actually this is happened when you run your app,add sdk and avd manager to your IDE,and i'm sure it's will be work :-) – Mohammadreza Khatami Dec 21 '14 at 16:52

make sure sdk and avd manager added to your IDE correctly. answer of your second question is,when you play your app in IDE a emulator will be run and on emulator toolbox you can turn off or turn on your emulator and also you can see your app running or not

I meet this situation today, but the file *.lock was deleted (not by me) when i run this emulater failed with error tips like

AVD Nexus_5_API_21 is already running. If that is not the case, delete the files at C:\Users\S****.android\avd/Nexus_5_API_21.avd/*.lock

so in the end, i duplicated this emulator and located the copy emulator's location and find the .*lock file and then i deleted it and it worked.
