DFT Energy failure during calculation

Hi.
I am a novice in this field and having trouble with negatively charged(-1) system...
Here is a input file command line

Contents

===================================================

ECHO
START
TITLE "amino -1"
BASIS
 * library 6-31+G
END
CHARGE -1
DFT
 XC b3lyp
ODFT
MULT 2
NOIO
END
PROPERTY
 MULLIKEN
DIPOLE
END
GEOMETRY
...
END
TASK DFT energy
TASK DFT property
===================================================

The geometry is made of fluorinated carbon molecule with amino bond.
  • FYI: I run a calculation with same geometry but without charge (CHARGE 0, XC b3lyp, ODFT, NOIO) and it went fine.
Below is error comment, It seems like issues related to MPI...
I would be really appreciated if you help me how to solve this issue...


Below is error comment
===================================================
Parallel integral file used  567253 records with       0 large values
------------------------------------------------------------------------
dft energy failed 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
current input line :
306: TASK DFT energy
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This type of error is most commonly associated with calculations not reaching convergence criteria
