CP2K Hangs

[Matt W]

Hi,

nothing is obviously wrong with your input that I can see. Maybe (i) 
problem with the executable (ii) problem with cell size.


To start debugging -
You say you can run NVE - can you run NVT as you've got it set up?
Can you run a cell optimization, maybe just a few steps, to check that the 
stress tensor/cell volume change is working OK.
