Dears , I suffer from a very slow iteration and after days the calculation stop with [ Error EDDDAV: Call to ZHEGV failed. Returncode = 25 2 48]

my system have a combination of metallic and non-metallic elements total 104 atoms and those warning keep written after each ionic step :

No DFT-D parameters for this functional. They have to be
assigned manually in INCAR.

BRMIX: very serious problems
the old and the new charge density differ

My INCAR is as follow :
ISTART = 0
ICHARG = 2
ISMEAR = 0
SIGMA = 0.2
NSW =500
ISIF = 2
ISPIN=2
IBRION = 2
IVDW = 11 # D3
LREAL=.FALSE.
LWAVE=.FALSE
#PREC = High
ALGO=Normal
NEDOS = 2000
LCHARGE=.FALSE.
ENCUT=500
EDIFF = 0.1e-6
EDIFFG = -1E-02
LORBIT=10
NCORE = 4

Thank you for your Help
