P.S. I tried a random daily build from 2014 which was build 2511 and had the same results.

Are you using the latest graphic drivers from nVidia?

#23

Yes I am. After posting this topic i realized I did not have the most recent driver and updated hoping to solve my problem, unfortunately it did not.

Thanks,

Hey, maybe your ram or your graphics card or something else is going out? maybe find something on the web like a program to check it? I cant find one for you atm really busy…

Well I just bought this laptop about 2 weeks ago and the computer recognizes 12.0 GB of RAM and runs YouTube videos fine. I haven’t tried the Android Studio Emulator or any games yet but I will soon to see how they act.

Thanks,

Well from experience I bought a brand new laptop and turned out the ram was bad from day one to 6 when I had it… Lucky for me I had warranty… But ya download a game or two and try playing them on max settings… Your PC should take most games at max settings

I have played NBA 2K15 and GTA V on max settings and both run fine. I have just recently updated my graphics card driver to a newer version that was just released and still have had no luck. I have also installed the latest daily build with no success. The Corona Simulator works flawlessly on my desktop but unfortunately I haven’t been able to get it working properly on my laptop… Any other ideas would be very much appreciated. 

Thanks,

Jesse

Im running out of ideas lol BUT maybe this will help you? Ok so i dont have time to research this for you because im working a big game of my own… but maybe you could add more ram usage to the simulator? like so lets say when you run the simulator the simulator uses lets say 4 gb of ram… you understand? if no i can explain better…

After upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and upgrading my nVidia driver(Automatically updated after upgrade to Win 10), the simulator is back to normal with no issues! I have no idea what the issue was in the first place but I am very happy that it is working on my laptop now.

Thanks everyone for trying to help!
