DFT convergence issue


Clicked A Few Times
Below is my input file. I am running this on Intel Xeon clusters 4GB RAM, using 6 nodes with 8 processors each. The code ran when I used 30000mb total memory but failed to converge even after 200 iterations. So I increased the maximum number of iterations to 400 or 700. In both the cases the code fails to run and the output shows :

Last System Error Message from Task 1:: Numerical result out of range
Last System Error Message from Task 2:: Numerical result out of range
Last System Error Message from Task 3:: Numerical result out of range

This error comes just after 7-10 iterations. What is going wrong here?
