AVD stays stuck on "Android is starting"

Issue

I've no issue launching a Wear VD but I can't get a normal Android to start...

Working on Windows 7 - 64 bits, with Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 (so no 64 bits emulation) and 6Gb RAM.

When I try to launch a virtual device with avd,

If I try with Intel Atom (x86), I get stuck on the Android screen :

Using Google APIs Intel Atom (x86), it stays stuck on the final loading screen :

Android is starting

Starting apps.

Here are the settings :

I've tried to :

• lower the emulated RAM under 768 Mb as advised (stuck earlier (at Optimizing app N of 74))
• maximise emulated RAM (2048 Mb)

but that doesn't fix the problem...

Any ideas?

Solution

Okay its not the previous HAXM errors of 2015 as it was escalated with Intel and they fixed it asof summer 2015:

But that was a different set of CPUs than the on you listed

Probably since you have Windows 7 64-bit the feature may be disabled in your BIOS. The way to enable it in BIOS will be different due to the OEM of the laptop or desktop computer but usually can be found at the OEM's website as its a common asked question.
