Android studio unable to view avd

Question

hi im new to to android studio and programming. i wrote a simple hello world program, when i click on run and select the default avd device it gives me the following error

"D:\Users\Brian Fernandes\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator.exe" -avd Nexus_5_API_21_x86 -netspeed full -netdelay none
emulator: WARNING: Requested RAM size of 1536MB is too large for your environment, and is reduced to 1152MB.
Cannot set up guest memory 'android_arm': Invalid argument
Error accepting connection, aborting

i reduced the ram now i get the below error

Cannot launch AVD in emulator. Output: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

i have installed haxm yet its giving me this error

Help me resolve the error.

First reduce the size used by this emulator, or try to use an other emulator system image with minimal config to test your Hello Android application.

I advice you to use an Android powered device later when you get ready and when u're a ninja android developer :)

Personally I've had a lot of problems with AVD emulators. I'd try out genymotion as an alternative. https://www.genymotion.com/#!/ This is what I use for all my android development and it's never given me any errors and is faster than avd.

i have core 2 duo e7400 . does it support Vt-x? which CPU do you have? – Brian May 01 '15 at 18:58
It does support vt-x, see here https://www.genymotion.com/#!/developers/user-guide#requirements but it also apparently requires 2gb ram. So you should be okay to run it. The answers suggesting you decrease the size of the emulator and suggesting you get a real test device are also valid. You can pick up a used android new enough to test on for pretty cheap ebay etc. – Tulsi Leathers May 02 '15 at 15:31
Hmm you can try another emulator and see if you get better results would be only suggestion then. In addition to genymotion there is bluestacks and andy but I haven't used either of them. – Tulsi Leathers May 02 '15 at 22:46
only some models of core 2 duo support vtx mine doesnt. looks like even vtx requires vtx. also tried using arm image. but it just gives me a blank white screen – Brian May 16 '15 at 09:46

Reduce the RAM for emulator in between 512 MB to 1 GB.

In a Windows environment you cannot use more than 1 GB of ram for emulator.
