Dear Vasp Users.
I'm working the relaxation of the 40 atomic system.
In the process of relaxation, the calculation stopped with the
error message like below,
DAV: 8 -0.308711193018E+03 0.47294E-09 0.89095E-10 1308 0.280E-06
35 F= -.30871119E+03 E0= -.30871119E+03 d E =0.453615E-05
curvature: 0.00 expect dE= 0.000E+00 dE for cont linesearch 0.000E+00
ZBRENT: fatal internal in brackting
system-shutdown; contact gK immediately
Is it the failure of conjugate gradient method? What is the treatment
of this error?
My INCAR file and POSCAR file is below,

The Error in the relaxatioion of atom positions
most probably, your system is converged to within the numerical accuracy (please have a look at the forces in OUTCAR), especially if the potential hypersurface is very flat around that minimum.
-- Usually it is sufficient to set EDIFFG=-0.01
-- you may try to increase PREC
