Dear Quantum espresso users,

I am running MD on quantum espresso. I am habing problems with magnetic
calculations of Nickel. i have calculated properties of Nickel using pw and
I need to calculate mean square displacement(MSD) of Nickel with
temperature using Molecular dynamics. I am using the following script to
calculate ground state calculations.I am getting the error as "Step     6
    0  -1364.047659           NaN           NaN   200". Can anyone tell me
if there any problem with input scriptfor magnetizaion?

Thanks
Ravi
