    Hello everyone.

    I have a slight problem. If anyone can give me guidance or insight it would be much appreciated.

    -The problem is every-time I run Bluestacks (an android emulator) inside of Parallels I ALWAYS end up running out of memory my mac crashes and I have to Reboot my macbook because it completely freezes.
    -I've tried to lower the memory that my system will give to windows Ive played around with how many CPUs I give to windows. (giving all my CPUs and all RAM or alternating the two both ways) BUT system memory has always run out. Even if I give windows 1GB of ram my memory gets higher and higher until it eventually crashes.
    -Ive tried to reinstall Parallels and also get new ISO files to run on. It seems like Bluestacks is the only program that is causing my system to run out of memory,

    I was talking to a another person and he said that in the previous version on OSX there was no such problem. Is it an operating system thing?

    I was wondering if there was a way so that my system wouldn't run out of memory and the whole computer crashes?

    Running parallels on:
    MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier:MacBookPro11,1
    Processor Name:Intel Core i5
    Processor Speed:2.4 GHz
    Number of Processors:1
    Total Number of Cores:2
    L2 Cache (per Core):256 KB
    L3 Cache:3 MB
    Memory:8 GB




    Thanks all in advance.

    I have exactly the same issue with a different computer though (Macbook pro retina).
    I am considering buying Parallel 10 but if this cannot be resolved, the software is not use to me.

    Ah, that would be nice.
    To clarify the issue. For me Bluestack itself could work quite long time. Before the issue. But I want to use it for automation in game - Clash of Clan. So, when I start any of solution (http://www.brokenbot.org/, http://clashbot.org/) system stuck in just 5 minutes.

    I use external display, so it is not Retina problem. But, really. Support - please, tell us what the problem to fix this issue. We all bought our licenses and could wait for normal reaction on our requests.
    It is two months as Maria@Parallels reported that support starts to solve our case.

    This is not a Parallels problem. This is an OSX problem. If you download VM Fusion. The exact same thing happens.

    Hi Tre,

    - I used Parallels Desktop version 10
    - Currently using the 1650x1050 resolution in the guest (I also have settings for Retina displayed enabled in configuration)
    - I'm not sure what you mean by automatic mode, but I selected the normal windows 10 version from the dropdown menu in the link. Also, during installation I
    chose "other" because it did not list windows 10 x64 bit as a choice.
    - For Bluestacks, I just downloaded the online version from there website, and didn't change any of the the settings.

    Hope that helps
