AVD won't start up

Issue

I created a simple Android app in Eclipse ADT, just a simple Hello World. The IDE I am using was downloaded from the Android web site, seems it's based on Eclipse Juno and has the ADT plugin. My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit.

OK, then I created an AVD in the IDE (from a Nexus 5 template; just lowered the memory to 512MB).

The problem is that I keep getting this error when I try to start the AVD (with no app in it). Seems like it's in some loop and keeps printing this in the LogCat and the AVD screen is just black.

1. What might be wrong?
2. How does one normally troubleshoot such issues? I am new to Android (but not to Java).

Solution

My problem was that I was using Android 4.4W which (as I realized later) is the so-called Android Wear and is applicable to very specific devices only (like watches e.g.). After switching to the normal Android 4.4.2, the issue described in my question disappeared.
