Geometry optimization of SiO2

Hi
I am a beginner of cp2k and trying to optimize the structure of SiO2 to
make sure that cp2k works for zeolite I want to calculate.
The following input file was submitted and the BFGS Optimization was fine
first. But, the SCF of the 3rd optimization cycle was not converged and I
saw the structure made big change.
What is the problem of this? I attempted also other structures of SiO2 but
same problem happened again.
If you have a advice, suggestion or solution, let me know please.
