IntelliJ fails running o startup

I am having issues with IntelliJ. I have been able to use it with no issues in the past but have recently been unable to use due to it freezing because of the following errors on startup.

me@mymachine:~/idea-IU-139.1117.1$ ./bin/idea.sh 
Exception in thread "AWT-XAWT" 
Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "AWT-XAWT"

Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0 14.0.3#IU-139.1117.1, eap:false"
Exception in thread "Performance watcher" 
Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown from theUncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "Performance watcher"

Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "Timer-0"

I have tried increasing my vmoptions but it hasn't worked. I even tried reinstalling.

machine: ubuntu, 64 bit

Because have this line: Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, I guess your problem about memory heap size. You should try changing Java heap size.

sudo nano /etc/profile

add this line:

_JAVA_OPTIONS = -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m

with 1024 MB is memory heap size, You can change this value.

Reference: Setting environment variables permanently , JVM options.
