Dear all
I am trying to run a relatively large calculation (appr. 500 Al atoms). I have reduced the k point sampling to 1x1x1 but still the calculation crashes. The last lines of the OUTCAR file are the following:

----------------------------------------------------------------
maximum number of plane-waves: 63603
maximal index in each direction:
IXMAX=234 IYMAX= 6 IZMAX= 9
IXMIN=*** IYMIN= -6 IZMIN= -9

NGX is ok and might be reduce to 938
NGY is ok and might be reduce to 26
NGZ is ok and might be reduce to 38
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The program stops without any further message.
Any help is welcome.
Thanx

just to check whether the crash is due to memory problems, please have a look whether the calculation runs with PREC=Low and/or if you use more parallel processors.
