The "ERROR FEXCP" happened in non-self consistent calculation

[bioggg]

Dear all,
I was running non-self consistent calculation in order to get the band structure. I had the self consistent process completed and then I copied the CHGCAR to the following band structure computation. However, I got the ERROR FEXCP message. I looked through the forums and people primarily encountered the problem as doing relaxation (self consistent). Would you please help me out? Thank you!
