Cannot create a Google Compute VM instance

I thought that this would be relatively straight forward, but I cannot start a Google Compute Engine instance at all. I am creating an instance through the web interface, but get an error after clicking the "Create" button.

The error that appears in the activity log is:

Invalid value for field 'resource.type': 'https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects//zones/asia-east1-b/diskTypes/pd-standard'. Must be a URL to a valid Compute resource of the correct type.

Here is a screen shot of my instance settings:

Any ideas about what is going wrong? I have tried different zones and VM sizes.

Not sure why you're unable to create the instance, but you can always create it directly from the terminal with gcutil.

This command should do the trick: gcutil addinstance --zone=asia-east1-b --image=debian-7-wheezy-v20140606 --machine_type=g1-small bigquery-bi-instance
