Dear All

I met with a problem when I am trying to relax the geometry of MgO (001)
slab, the error message occured:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     task #         0
     from  system_checkin      : error #         1
      ecutwfc out of range
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Therefore pw.x didn't work. But the test of the examples reported no
problem. I cannot figure out what's wrong with it, could anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.

This is my input file:
