Intel HAXM 1.0.6 crashing Windows 8.1

Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) 1.0.6 is the last version that is delivered by Android SDK (check android-sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\Release Notes.txt) but this one is causing BSODs with Windows 8.1. Intel has fixed the issue since, but you will have to install the old version and then download the new 1.0.7 version from Intel's website yourself.

CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION (109)
This bugcheck is generated when the kernel detects that critical kernel code or
data have been corrupted. There are generally three causes for a corruption:
1) A driver has inadvertently or deliberately modified critical kernel code
 or data. See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/kernel/64bitPatching.mspx
2) A developer attempted to set a normal kernel breakpoint using a kernel
 debugger that was not attached when the system was booted. Normal breakpoints,
 "bp", can only be set if the debugger is attached at boot time. Hardware
 breakpoints, "ba", can be set at any time.
3) A hardware corruption occurred, e.g. failing RAM holding kernel code or data.
Arguments:
Arg1: a3a01f58992ad4f7, Reserved
Arg2: b3b72bdeebaad53e, Reserved
Arg3: fffff800820b3000, Failure type dependent information
Arg4: 0000000000000003, Type of corrupted region, can be
 0 : A generic data region
 1 : Modification of a function or .pdata
 2 : A processor IDT
 3 : A processor GDT
 4 : Type 1 process list corruption
 5 : Type 2 process list corruption
 6 : Debug routine modification
 7 : Critical MSR modification

    1. What is that, graphics driver version (should not matter) or Windows version (Windows Server 2012 R2)? Intel HAXM supports Windows desktop versions 7, 8, 8.1, 10, you can download the latest version from the GitHub link in the article, Releases tab (https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases)

      If that doesn't work, you could try Visual Studio Emulator for Android (doesn't require you to use Visual Studio, that's simply how they named it). https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/msft-android-emulator/

      HTH,
