no scf iteration !

Hi

my system consists of 200 atoms mainly Ti and O and some Au atoms and it is being run using 60 cpus on an IBM machine. nwchem doesn't do even one iteration of the first SCF and writes nothing about energy ! Is the problem concerns the initial guess that cause such thing ? any suggestion ?
