Android Apps not running at all - CPU may be pegged

Question

I am a beginner with Android. I had done a couple of small projects to learn android. But when i tried to do one of the earlier projects again, the emulator showed app failure. I tried bluestacks, yet the same. And when I tried to run some of my previous apps which was already installed in the emulator, I figured out that, none of those apps, which were previously working is working right now. I tried debugging one of the apps, that was previously working, without making any change in the code, and got the logcat output as below(Sorry for pasting the entire thing, but I cant actually figure out the actual problem):

I tried Googling for CPU may be pegged error, but didn't get an actual answer. And rather, all of them were talking about the same error in some advanced apps using audio and all, but the program i tried to debug was a simple Hello World app. And somewhere someone told to close and reopen the eclipse and emulator, reboot the system, I tried everything, still no luck. I am stuck up with this for the last couple of days. Google d every possibilities in the logcat and got no answer. If anyone knows what can be the issue, please help.

And if this is of use, this is the screenshot of the debugger screen.

You appear to be calling findViewById inside the constructor of the Activity. You should be doing this later (preferably in onCreate()), and only after calling setContentView().
