Android studio keeps crashing on launch

Question

I installed the latest version of android studio. I was able to create and run projects just a few hours ago but now, when I try to open an existing project or trying to create a new one, it crashes (studio exits automatically). The crashing happens mainly two times, when I click the android studio icon to launch it and it starts loading, or when it (somehow) survives the initial loading and the project "starts indexing". I have a strong doubt on intelliJ platform that the studio uses because when I installed the IntelliJ idea IDE separately, the same thing happens. I am desperately looking for a solution. It should be noted that there is no memory issue. I am using Windows 7 ultimate (64-bit).

After each crash a folder is generated in the log folder named freeze-20161115-145630-5 and it has a file named threadDump-20161115-145630.txt and the idea.log file has the following (it is a very long log file. I have deleted some text from the top of the file):

2016-11-15 14:56:11,526 [      0]   INFO -        #com.intellij.idea.Main - ------------------------------------------------------ IDE STARTED ------------------------------------------------------
