Try following the steps from [this troubleshooting guide](https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007568559) in order to restore program integrity.
If it doesn't help, try to start the IDE from the terminal and examine the output for more verbose error messages:
- navigate to the **/bin** directory
- launch **idea** shell script
