First my specs are an Intel i7 toshiba laptop with 8gigs of RAM running windows 8.1 with all the latest updates. When I first launch any of Jetbrains IDEs after install, it would ask me for my workspace location and then it would proceed to do nothing after than, but it stays in memory and slows down my entire system for about a minute, after that, the computer stops being slow and returns to normal but the program still does nothing (no GUI) but still remains in memory, what is going on??? Thanks in advance.

It works fine with my windows 8.1, so it's definitely not the issue. Try to remove folder with all settings (caches, plugins, etc):devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-181 and start IDE.Kootli
Nope, same thing occursTray Tray
Well IMHO in this case contacting JetBrains support is a good idea: intellij-support.jetbrains.com/anonymous_requests/new .Kootli
I have, still awaiting response.Tray Tray
Well, it's Sunday, so I believe they'll answer you on Monday.:)Kootli

It's hard giving a definite answer to your question. But it sounds to me like you have a problem with your Java. Make sure you have it installed and at the latest version.

Also, try looking for matching bugs in the JetBrains bug tracker.

Replacing the jre folder within the IDE folder (pycharm,intelliJ,etc.) with one from an updated JDK install not JRE install.

ex: JDK/jre7 copy over Jetbrains/IDE/jre

fixes the issue
