You should run HAXM installer from <android-sdk-location>/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/ and during installation set amount of RAM available to HAXM to 1024 MB or more.

If there is not extras/intel directory then launch Android SDK Manager, go to Extras, select Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer) and press Install.

  • I have already done this.I have uninstalled Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager from the control panel and reinstall it from the Android SDK Manager ->Extras->Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator and then again installed it but the allowed RAM Range is less than 969 MB – Krishan Kumar Oct 07 '15 at 05:08
  • What amount of RAM was set during installation? – mixel Oct 07 '15 at 06:09

It is the first time you try to open the emulator, in my experience why i receive that warning its because i saturate the memory with others app, make sure you close other instances and clear the memory.

Other thing you can try its in the menu of AVD Manager, in the advanced settings increase the memory RAM of the virtual device you have configured.

I hope this can help you.

    You mean you should decrease your memory RAM in AVD, it has to be lower than the maximum allowed in HAXM – LightMan Nov 07 '15 at 08:56

I had this issue in Android Studio Arctic Fox and solved it in a curious way.

1.- I opened the previous version of Android Studio I was using (4.2.1), and ran an Android project there. Android Studio 4.2.1 Opened the emulator successfully.

2.- I came back to Arctic fox and launched my current Android project on it. The emulator ran the App correctly, as it was the same emulator I used for step 1.

3.- I closed both Android Studio 4.2.1 and the AVD. Relaunched the App on Arctic Fox, and the HAXM memory issue was gone. I can run Apps again.
