You should check the convergence with respect to the pseudopotentials you are using, If you are using ultrasoft pseudopotentials typically ecutrho must be increased as well. Here is an example of how to test convergance: www.tcl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pdf/2014_lm/1st_day_pm.pdf I suggest that you do more "google" research and then post a more specific query to this forum if you encounter any issues.
