You might be experiencing these problems due to allocation of excessive amount of RAM for the virtual device which wont be available for the device.

Best thing to do is to go to ->

Android Virtual Device Manager and set it to something like 512MB or 768MB and try again.

try decreasing the ram and try again if the problem persists!!
