I am using android studio and using Genymotion as my virtual device in Ubuntu 14.0.4 LTS. I was having a good time with Genymotion. Since a week as i run Virtual machine to use Genymotion computer Suddenly Freezes. But as soon as i close the Virtual machine machine starts working smoothly.What can be the problem? is it the problem with my machine?
Genymotion is a known resource hog. Maybe you need to add more RAM. Then you can allocate more RAM to the VirtualBox VM.
A guest OS in VirtualBox can be configured to use up to 256MB video memory. To increase the video memory to 256MB, open the terminal and type:
VBoxManage modifyvm "Name of VM" --vram 256
You can also configure the number of processors in the VirtualBox settings.

It will work faster with 8GB RAM. Storing the VirtualBox files on an SSD speeds up performance too. – karel Aug 27 '16 at 2:55

yes i now it but i mean to say that it was working fine even with 4 gb but now it always freezes. The solution only i have is to Format my device which i cannot do it. Is there any resources for this to run as before? – niroz thapa Aug 27 '16 at 2:58

In VMware Workstation 12 and later for graphics-intensive applications, 2GB of video memory can be allocated for additional workload processing power. – karel Feb 26 '19 at 17:14
