Every time you face this error its probably because of a memory leak or difference between how Node <= 10 and Node > 10 manage memory.

Seems like you are trying to run a ReactJS project which is implemented to match with Node version > 10.

So, please upgrade your Node to the latest version and try.

Uninstall your existing Node version.
Install the Latest version of Node.
Delete node_modules folder of your ReactJS project.
Run npm install.
Run npm start.

You will fix the issue.
