geometry optimization - Load of old vectors failed

Clicked A Few Times
Dear all,
I'm doing geometry optimization of 46 atoms molecule in two steps - at first I do it with small basis set (3-21G) and then I proceed to larger one (6-31+G*). The problem I'm facing is that for the larger basis set I'm getting "Load of old vectors failed. Forcing atomic density guess" error for each GO step. My input is following:

start dimerBO4-MM1c2_GO-B3LYP-631+Gstar

and here is the corresponding part of the output:

I also tried restarting the calculation from the previous optimization in smaller basis set projecting to larger basis with the same result.
Do you have anybody idea why is this happening?
thank you
