Probably its because your machine does not hove enough RAM? acording to this article there are some workarounds.

Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

To work around this problem in a system that is running many programs that are using lots of memory, try to close those programs and then restart the emulator.

If the emulator still does not start, you can disable the Hyper-V runtime memory monitoring functionality by adding a MemoryReserve registry. To do this, follow these steps: Start Registry Editor. Locate the following registry subkey:

>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization

Right-click the Virtualization folder, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.. Type MemoryReserve, and then press Enter. Double-click MemoryReserve, enter 2048 in the Value data box, select the Decimal option, and then click OK. Close Registry Editor. In systems that experience this problem and that have fewer than 8 GB of RAM installed, a MemoryReserve value of 2048 (2 GB) is recommended. A value of zero (0) causes this registry setting to be ignored.

Note You must restart the computer for this registry setting to take effect.

If this doesnt help give some more info about your machine haracteristics.
