scGW stuck after couple of iterations

With ALGO set to either scGW or scGW0 for a bulk TiN system I am unable to go beyond second iteration. The NELM is set to = 3 or 4. For bulk Si system I do not see any such problem but with any other system I have tried I run into this problem. It has been brought to attention before but has anyone found any solution or reason of the problem?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. It finished first iteration. In second iteration it printed QP-energies values as NaN and after that it is stuck there without giving any error message until allocated time is over.
These are the last few line of OUTCAR

I also met the similar problem:
the QP energy is NaN.
Could some one kindly tell us the solution to this problem?
