Android Studio BSOD when running virtual device

Question

When I attempt to start a virtual device the laptop crashes and I get a BSOD with the error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I opened up the crash log and I found the culprit to be:

MODULE_NAME: IntelHaxm

IMAGE_NAME:  IntelHaxm.sys

DEBUG_FLR_IMAGE_TIMESTAMP:  5cb6c325

STACK_COMMAND:  .thread ; .cxr ; kb

BUCKET_ID_FUNC_OFFSET:  28a8

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  AV_CODE_AV_IntelHaxm!unknown_function

BUCKET_ID:  AV_CODE_AV_IntelHaxm!unknown_function

PRIMARY_PROBLEM_CLASS:  AV_CODE_AV_IntelHaxm!unknown_function

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I'm hitting this, too. New install of AS (Pixel, Intel Atom, latest "10" image), went to BIOS to enable VT-x, back to AS, Run, BSOD. Every time AS tries to launch the virtual device: BSOD. Go to BIOS and disable VT-x. Now no crash. Won't launch device either, of course. — Brian White, Jun 13 '20 at 19:29
`IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL` means that a driver had broken away. — Martin Zeitler, Jun 13 '20 at 20:24
@brianWhite I'm suffering with this same issue, trying to run Emulator in Android studio for Flutter! (everything was working fine before) — KHALDOUN Mohsen, Feb 03 '21 at 15:19

This happens when the IntelHaxm driver isn't properly installed. If VT-x is not enabled in the BIOS when Android Studio installs, Haxm will not setup properly.

If you then enable VT-x but not reinstall the driver, Android Studio will try to use the unconfigured driver and you'll get this crash.

To reinstall Haxm, go under Tools > SDK Manager and install it manually. (image ref)

There was also a version of the driver that had a bug that caused this. Make sure you Help > Check for Updates... so you have the latest edition. Be sure VT-x is enabled in the BIOS first.

I went to SDK tools and needed to update intel x86 emulator and the emulator stopped crashing. Thanks (y) – Haider Malik Oct 23 '20 at 22:52

My BSOD error was PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, but the solution worked for it, too. Thanks! – Bobby Tait Sep 19 '21 at 19:03

If you have "Intell x 86 Emulator" to be sure that you use the actual version. Try to update it. if you use not the latest version there would be an updating available.
