title: IntelliJ IDEA: Abnormal build process termination after heap size change
body: <p>I've been trying to allocate 256MB array, which produced Java heap space exception. I've tried <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/17221838">this solution</a> and it didn't help. So I've been looking for another similar problems and found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/36518169">this</a>. However, after raising the heap size above 1377MB i get this error:</p>

  <p>I've found many answers to such problem, but all of them are telling me to downgrade my NVIDIA driver which I'm not able to do and which doesn't make sense to me at all. What I'm looking for is the some sort of explanation why this is happening and what could I do to solve it. </p>
  
  <p>Note: I'm using x64 IDEA. </p>
