Hi,
I was running an SCF calculation from QE on High Performance Cluster using
20 processors  when it gave the following error:-
no-G vectors found.
I tried reducing the no of processors to 1 but then it gave the error:-
Error in routine cdiaghg S matrix not positive definite.
The input is :-
&CONTROL
                 calculation = 'scf' ,
                  pseudo_dir = '/home/vishalgupta/GB' ,

 &SYSTEM
                       ibrav = 2,
                   celldm(1) = 3.52,
                         nat = 47,
                        ntyp = 1,
