Android Studio Emulator is not starting up for the first time?

Question

I just started learning android studio but for some reason, my emulator is not starting up. I read similar questions asked here and tried many different things and I manage to get the emulator loading console to appear for a few seconds before disappearing forever. Even though gradle build has become quite fast, the emulator still refuses to show. I tried changing RAM, making new devices, updating path on 'program structures' installing HAXM and any other thing that seemed to work or other people but I still get this error when I run it " Error while waiting for device: Timed out after 300seconds waiting for emulator to come online. "

I was really looking forward to learning app development for my project but this issue is hindering my progress significantly. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: My android studio is version 2.3.1 and I am following TheNewBoston video series.

Android Studio Emulator is little slow sometimes or if you are not running a PC with good configurations , mostly it won't work , instead of running your app in Android Studio Emulator , you can try these emulators

or you can run it on your own device , for that please follow the link for official documentation
