Android Emulator Issue : Failed to allocate memory: 8?

I am trying to create emulator with FULL HD resolution (1980 x 1080), but while starting I am getting following error :

Starting emulator for AVD 'emu' Failed to allocate memory: 8 This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

any one have idea why this error occur, and how can I create full HD resolution emulator?

This following solution worked for me. In the following configuration file:

C:\Users\<user>\.android\avd\<avd-profile-name>.avd\config.ini

Replace

hw.ramSize=1024

by

hw.ramSize=1024MB

If not work above then setting below.

hw.lcd.density=160
sdcard.size=300M
skin.path=1980x1080
skin.name=1980x1080
hw.cpu.arch=arm
abi.type=armeabi-v7a
hw.cpu.model=cortex-a8
vm.heapSize=48
hw.ramSize=1024MB
image.sysdir.1=system-images\android-16\armeabi-v7a\

This is working for me to create avd

android create avd  -n test -t 1 -b armeabi-v7a -s 1980x1080

then to start 

emulator -avd test -initdata userdata.img -ramdisk ramdisk.img -system system.img -sdcard songs_for_music_app/Music_card.img  -dpi-device 240

You can find all images here

android-sdk/system-images/android-15/armeabi-v7a

and emularor and android commands can be found in android-sdk/platfor-tools and android-sdk/tools
