Hi,
I've been having this same problem.  This is how I fixed it:

1. Open up the jmeter.bat file in the bin folder with a text editor. Increase 
the heap space set at line starting: set HEAP=-Xms512m -Xmx512m.  (i have set 
mine to: set HEAP=-Xms1550m -Xmx1550m).
2. Remove all listeners and debugging tools (i.e. graphs, summary reports, view 
results tree/ table etc..) from your JMeter test plan.
3.  Split out your JMeter test into more JMeter instances.  I.e. if you have 
400 threads running with 1 instance, split this into 2 x 200 thread instances.
4.  Increase the RAM in your PC.
5.  Run JMeter in non-GUI mode (which I think you're doing already). 


These have worked for me!

Jamie.

Execute a df -h to see if you still have HD  to store JMeter resulta file, 
because HeapDump generates a huge file in your filesystem. Maybe the number of 
threads you are starting in this machine is too much for it. Another approach 
is to use -XX:AggressiveHeap (jdk 6-) or -XX:AggressiveOpts
(jdk7+) instead of default JMeter -Xms and -Xmx options.
