First reduce the size used by this emulator, or try to use an other emulator system image with minimal config to test your Hello Android application.

I advice you to use an Android powered device later when you get ready and when u're a ninja android developer :)

Reduce the RAM for emulator in between 512 MB to 1 GB.

In a Windows environment you cannot use more than 1 GB of ram for emulator.

Personally I've had a lot of problems with AVD emulators. I'd try out genymotion as an alternative. https://www.genymotion.com/#!/ This is what I use for all my android development and it's never given me any errors and is faster than avd.
