Solid State Structure Optimization

Dear All,

I'm trying to optimize a solid state structure in a periodic model using 
PBE level of DFT including dispersion; this system has about 180 atoms.
when I try to optimize the system, it crashes immediately and I come up 
with an error saying "On entry to DLASCL parameter number  4 had an illegal 
value". 

I would appreciate if someone could have a look and comment on it.

Thank you in advance.
