		                        I'm new in NWChem software, I only have run very small organic molecules to try the software without problems. 
This time I tried to run a molecule with 28 atoms using my laptop (Sony VAIO 4GB RAM, Processor AMD E-350 Dual 64-bit, SO Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in dual-boot with Windows 7 Home Basic). I compiled NWChem in Ubuntu. 
 
To get the input code, I use Avogadro in Extensions/NWChem and I defined what you see below. 
 
Geometry Optimization 
 
Theory: B3LYP  
 
Basis: 6-31G(d) 
 
Format: Cartesian 
 
Multiplicity: 1 
 
Charge: 0  
 
I'll try to solve it by myself, but maybe someone had this problem before or maybe the problem is just a little detail in the code or the characteristics of my laptop, and maybe someone could help me to solve it quickly. 
 
Well the program starts running good, but after 8 or 9 hours it stops and displays the massage below: 
 
Quote: Last System Error Message from Task 0:: Numerical result out of range 
 0: ARMCI aborting 0 (0). 
 
system error message: Numerical result out of range  
 
In the output file I got this: 
 
Quote: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
dft optimize failed                                                                     0 
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 current input line : 
   48: task dft optimize 
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
This type of error is most commonly associated with calculations not reaching convergence criteria

I share with you the input and output files, maybe it will be usefull to you to understand what's happening.

Thanks in advance...
