Help! Android Studio killed AVD while running

My computers are a 6 years old since bought. When i run it, it killed the AVD. Here's are Android Studio says to me:

Error while waiting for device: The emulator process for AVD AVD_GalaxyNexus_ToolsForApacheCordova was killed.

And I've discoverd by my book that my computers will crash when run with Default AnSt (Android Studio) AVD, So the book advice me to use Genymotion. I want to know more why this happens and how to fix it, and how can I install Genymotion if it's the only option. (Don't blame me about too long word to describe an error, i've just try to explain the details as my best)

Thanks!

Hey There,

You could try Genymotion... many developers prefer it actually. You could also try making sure the default emulator is started and up and running prior to running the code.

One more thing, have a look at the Workshop on Emulators and see if it can also offer you some suggestions.

Good luck. I hope everything works out. :dizzy:
