Dear CP2K users,

I'm trying to set up a QS calculation of EPR magnetic properties of NaCl 
type crystals into which doped transition metal ions. However we 
encountered a convergence problem as soon as the "current calculation " job 
starts. 

The message is followed:

The linear solver didnt converge! Maximum number of iterations reached.

I was trying to decrease the keyword "ENERGY_GAP 2.0E-004" and increase 
"MAX_ITER", but the program was aborted afterward.

  The question is that are there any parameters need to be changed to make 
the calculation work? Or simply i just missed some important steps?
