DFT optimized failed and Bad termination exit code 255

Hello all,

I'm new to NWChem 6.8 and facing issues to run Raman calculation (solvation). The main problem is it does not reach the convergence criteria (dft optimize failed). I tried maxiter up to 1000 but similar issue is still found.

I also get the below error. Can anyone assist me to fix these issues?
