[Pw_forum] Freezing computation during geometry optimization using BFGS

[Stefano Baroni]

how can anybody, without knowing what the system is, what the input is, what the output is?

Since the computations freeze at the same iteration when restarted from the same configuration, I think I have a problem related to my input but not to network connection. Could anyone help me resolve this issue?
