[QE-users] Pw.x doesn't progress in supercell calculation

It is a relatively large system, with little symmetry and several 
k-points. And it looks like you are running on windows (i.e. not in 
parallel on a supercomputer). My guess, it that it is just too slow for 
you computer: either it run out of memory and started swapping on disk, 
or it is just slow.

A part from that, your value of ecutrho looks funny.

cheers
