Go to -> Window -> Android Virtual Device Manager

Window-> Android virtual device manager

Select your current Virtual Device -> Edit -> Disable 'Use Host GPU' -> Ok

Disable 'Use Host GPU' and Enable 'Snapshot'

The reason is that if we enable 'Use Host GPU' than it requires high capability of your system's graphics card but mostly user does not have high quality graphics card that's why it gives problem but it effects on performance of emulator. To increase the performance, enable the 'snapshot' option and now all is OK.
