It is working with the CG solver as well I just increased the number of
iterations (1000-> 2000)  and  decreased the tolerance (10^ -12 -> 10 ^ -10)

Note about the system I am solving:
In my PDE my RHS =0  (homogenous Helmholtz Eq. with Dirichlet BC) ,  Basically
I am solving  a system Ax=0
If there is a better way to solve this I would like to try.

I think it's not quite clear to me what you do. If you solve the equation
  operator * u = 0
but with nonzero Dirichlet boundary condition, then this leads to a linear 
system
  A x = b
where b is not the zero vector. That's because the boundary values appear in the rhs vector. You need to solve this like any other linear system.

However, if you have the Helmholtz equation with the "bad" sign in front of the mass term, then the matrix may be indefinite, and CG can not solve it.
